Hi MacRoss.

Well I'm told you can do a Scanreg /restore in Win95 just the same as you 
can in Win98. Its been 10 years since I've used Win95 so I can't remember this detail. 
I was told this on another forum. Scanreg is on the Win95 CD in a cab file.

Bleeping Computer

So if your computer will only startup in DOS at the DOS prompt just type in Scanreg 
/restore and see what happens. If it works then you will be shown some dates of previous 
backups. Just choose a date before this problem occured.

This will restore the registry but it won't restore the system.ini. There is usually 
a backup of this in the Windows folder something like system.bak just rename it.
