Registry Problem

[Dre]

Could someone help me please???? When I start my computer everything seems to load up fine. When I enter my password I get a box that say Registry Problem
Windows encountered an error accessing the system registry. You should restore the registry now and restart........
and it has a button at the bottom that say restore from backup and restart. I am unable to click this button. I tried to restart my computer and change the boot sequence to start from the A drive and it will not. I have a floppy rescue registry disk but I do not know how to get the computer to read it. Can anyone help me fix this problem?

Hi Dré,

What version of Windows are you running, please?

 

[Dre]

Windows 95

You could try restoring the registry to the state it was in when you last successfully started Windows 95:
Take a look at this MS article:

How to Troubleshoot Registry Errors in Windows 95(Q131431)

Good luck,

Thanks, it is back

Wow, that was fast!

Well done.

Cheers,

I think I celebrated to fast. The registry problem is gone but now it is having the blue screen fatal error message over and over.

 

[TonyKlein]

Sorry to hear that.

What is the exact text of your fatal exception?

 

[Dre]

it says
A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:C002Ba94 in VXD VCache (01)
+ ooooo408. The current application will be terminated.....
Press any Key......
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL......
Press any key to continue.

Is this computer dying?

Bad RAM can cause both that reg error and the vcache error. Go here and Download Doc Memory, Run it to test your RAM or try swapping it out if you have more than one stick of RAM to isolate the problem.

Vcache vxd errors are often caused by faulty RAM.

Try checking with DocMemory or a similar app.

Other things to try are:

- Disable external cache:

If your CPU utilizes external cache attempt to disable it temporarily to verify if it is causing your GPF error messages. If available you will be able to disable your external cache through CMOS (in the BIOS).

- lower your Video Resolution a little to see whether that makes a difference.

Good luck,
