I have currently had various upgrades to my PC. A seagate 13gb HD, Gigabyte GA-6VXE+ MB, ATI rage Fury Maxx 64mb, P3 Coppermine and a slot1 to socket 370 converter. Everytime I started windows after a few hours of upgrading the registry kept trying to restore! I have since formatted the H/D and re-installed all programs and drivers. Every first boot of the day does not work! The system.dat and user.dat files seem to need restoring. I do this and try to load windows 98 SE and a general win protection error comes up and stops loading windows. Press ctrl+alt+del and reset and loads windows happily for the day and any time I restart. Occasionally though the day when booting windows there will be a msgbox saying"an internal error in windows, windows will attempt to restore the registry". It does this and fine! Why am I having trouble loading win98 se smoothly?
