17755 2001-08-28 12:06:00 Attempted to restore a regestry backup as advised in your forum, (command prompt - scanreg/restore etc), but got a 'unable to complete operation' message -- Tried another backup but got the same result ????????????
Wondered if I can restore a regestry backup by simply unzipping one of the .cab files in the C:Windows/sysbckup folder ---
--- Running straight Win 98 ----- Thanks in advance

17756 2001-08-28 12:24:00 It should work. They contain the following:
System.dat
user.dat
system.ini
win.ini

So just extract them to c:\windows.
CD \WINDOWS
EXTRACT .\SYSBCKUP\RB001.CAB *.*

(It only extracts to the current dir)

It seems it doesn't backup the profile USER.DATs.
