Christer, How stupid of me and nice of you to catch me doing it. :D Of course I meant RegCleaner and have relayed that to others so many time....
It was meant that you should place the backup file that NtBackup creates onto your HD somewhere. Then use your burner software to burn it to...
This is usually caused by using a Registry Cleaner that isn't what it should be. I use RegCleaner and no other. It has never harmed any of my...
Tried Safe Mode? Tried Last Good Config? Tried booting to a win98 boot disk? Those three attempts and any error messages they generate will be...
Thanks for the feedback Balthior so that we may all learn together. Trying the simple things first paid off this time as it has so often in the...

Did you try Joe's suggestion? Should work..booting to the install cd and using the tools it has. You may have to change your boot sequence to...

A couple of Registry Keys to check if you're up to it. Run Regedit and verify that the two following Keys have a default string value data of...
To manually edit the folder options open My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > File Types > and you'll see one line that says "File Folder" and...
No, that was a stretch anyway but I keep trying to come up with something in common that is affecting both boxes and I just though boot virus. I...
This sounds like a Boot Sector Virus possibly. :( Have you checked for that?
That's odd. Perhaps try running it directly from the site without downloading it. I do it that way and get the proper exit message. If it won't...

I think you would have an easier time learning all the hot licks directly from one of these Google hits....
It's easier to make a floppy bootloader disk as I outlined. You made a CD instead but it sounds like you didn't make it "Bootable." That's a...
