After I installed Windows 98, a restart produced the "Windows encountered an error accessing the system registry. Windows will restart and repair the system registry for you" message. When I click "OK" it just restarts with the same message. I found Article 193903 in the MS Knowledge Base that applies to this problem. Tried a restart in Safe Mode and did not have the problem, and also received no follow-on messages (i.e. Explorer exceptions etc.). That told me this problem was indeed a swap file problem. I then followed the "Resolution" section of the article and successfully deleted the windows/win386.swp file and made more room on the swap file following paragraph 5 selecting the .tmp file. A restart was successful just one time, then the error message came right back. I then tried to go back in and delete ".old" repeating step 5. All I got was four or five pages of files that looked like this:
C:\PROGRA~1\ACCESS"1
\HYPERT~1
and ended with a summary of 2,841 files in 492 dir(s) 37,748.28MB free and the C prompt again. I am not sure where to go from here, and hope someone out there can help me out.
Thanks so much for you time.
