It's all screwed up. A friend tried to clean my registry with some program (which I have uninstalled) and now I have gang of dll errors, my windows media player won't open, my Netscape 7.2 browser won't open. I'm not sure if i'm posting this in right forum, so excuse me if I put it in the wrong forum.

Thanks in advance.

With luck, you could try using System Restore and going back to a date just before your "friend" did all this!!

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Each time I tried, it said the restoration was unsuccessful.

Then, I would think re-installing WMP and Netscape should fix the Regostry problems by re-installing the necessary Registry items!!

Tried that too and it still didn't work. I'll try again tomorrow.

ok, i got the windows media player to work but the netscape 7.2 still won't open and my screensaver won't show up. I can hear the sounds for it, but it shows nothing on the screen.

Are you doing an un-install first??

Murray

[Niki116]

Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled it repeatedly. I thought that would work too. I don't know what I happened.

How long ago did this take place??

You could try booting into DOS and running a scanreg /fix !!

About two days ago. I've been running this new netscape browser and everytime i go to a site with falsh, i get this error pop up abput Flash8.ocx. I don't know what's going on. And how would I go about booting into DOS and running a scanreg /fix?

[Murray S.]

Go to the Macromedia website and re-install flash for netscape..

Murray

[Niki116]

I've done that as well. The browser will work right sometimes on flash sites and sometimes it won't.

[Murray S.]

What sites doesn't it work on?? It could be a problem with the site!!

Murray

[Niki116]

Any site with flash on it. Sometimes it'll work. Sometimes it won't. And now when I try to delete my emails on hotmail, it won't let me.

Start backing up any personal pics, docs, etc.. When finished, do a complete re-install (fdisk, format and install)..
