While restarting the computer, press F8. Choose Command Prompt. At the C;> prompt, type in "cd Windows", without the quotes. Then type in "Command". You should have a command line that looks like this>>>
C:\Windows\Command>
Now type in scanreg/restore and choose a time prior to the onset of the problem.
While trying to boot I get ATAPI CD-Rom not found then "error loading GDI.exe" then computer shuts down. Have tried ?bootdisk.com? and ?allbootdisks.com? with and without Win98SE in CD-Rom drawer with no success. Bios settings have been A:>CD-Rom>C: and CD-Rom>A:>C: with no success. Boot disks mentioned no high memory file found, and will use low memory. Also while booting: ?Non system disk ? Replace the disk and press any key when ready." Also this error message while booting without the boot disk "device driver not found: CDI. No valid CD-Rom device drivers selected, run time error 200 at 0950:0091." All of this started after deleting the Windows font folder. Because neither the CDRom or floppy drives are accessible what do I do?
