Before Continuing make a Backup Diskette.

Unlike WinRescue 95, the Compact process should not give you any problems.  It is a different process than that used by WinRescue 95 and Windows95.  But just in case something goes wrong here are instuctions for restoring the Registry in DOS.

How to Restore the Registry in DOS

The easiest way to restore in DOS is to use the bootup diskette, that WinRescue 98 creates.  If you don't have the WinRescue 98 bootup diskette, you can do it the hard way outlined below.

To Get Into DOS
•	 Press <F8> when your computer says, "starting Windows98".
•	 From the list select, Safe mode command prompt only.  This should be number 7.

Running rescue.exe in DOS
•	Go to C Drive by typing, C:<ENTER>.  (<ENTER> means to press the Enter key)
•	Change to the root directory by typing, CD\<ENTER>.
•	Run rescue.exe by typing, rescue<ENTER>.
•	In Rescue choose the second option, Spare Registry.
•	Press on the Restore button.

If the DOS version Doesn't Work:
•	Go to the Windows Directory
•	Change drives by typing the drive letter, colon [:], and <ENTER>.
•	Change to the root directory by typing, CD\<ENTER>.
•	Change to directories by typing, CD, the name of the directory, and <ENTER>.
•	Find out what is in a directory by typing, DIR<ENTER>.
•	Type the Following Commands to Restore the Registry to the Spare Registry (produced by WinRescue 98 when you make a backup)
command\attrib -h -r -s user.dat<ENTER> (if this produces an error, you need to find out where attrib.exe is and type that location instead of command\attrib)
command\attrib -h -r -s system.dat<ENTER>
command\attrib -h -r -s user.ray<ENTER>
command\attrib -h -r -s system.ray<ENTER>
copy system.ray system.dat<ENTER>
copy user.ray user.dat<ENTER>
exit or win (to start Windows98)
