Yesterday, my Windows 98 loaded with large icons and fuzzy wallpaper. I rebooted and got same thing.
I have two old configuration choices at startup so I rebooted and selected my configuration at 2/17/2002. Then it loaded fine. but when I tried to restart in MS Dos mode to get my recent past configuration by doing SCANREG /RESTORE at the dos prompt, it wouldn't load in Dos Mode.
I discovered that my dosstart.bat file was corrupted. I renamed it to dosstart.old and restarted in dos mode. That worked, but when I tried to do SCANREG /RESTORE, the restore failed on all old dates listed.
I can still boot up with the old 2-17-2002 configuration, but
1 - I don't know whythe SCANREG /RESTORE didn't work.
2 - I don't know why my icons and wallpaper are so large.
3 - I don't know what corrupted my dosstart.bat file OR if any
other files got corrupted ! ! !
Can anyone walk me through this problem?
I want to be able to restore the register if another situation arises where I need to do it
PLEASE HELP
I have a Packard Bell AMD K6 2Processer 3D
with 64Meg Ram and 8Gig HD
Windows 98 Oprtg Sys.
