Can't attribute system.dat & user.dat
I need to relpace my registry with one that I backed up using a regsaver.exe. the problem is when I go to the dos prompt and try to type "attrib -r-h-s system.dat" it gives me a bad command meesage. wrong parameters ?. I also think it has something to do with the file not being visible at the dos prompht.

Just a second thought. The layout of the ATTRIB command is very important. Spacing between the -r -h -s is vital.
Just to recap, the command should look like this:
ATTRIB filename.ext -r -h -s
Good Luck.

The attribute function worked,I think it was the spacing in the -r-h-s. I loaded a coulpe of the old registries,but it did't fix the error message" there in not enough menory or the registry is corrupted some apps won't work properly"
Just a question. What version of Windows are U using? And is IE4.0 installed? If you have Version A or B of win95 and have ie4 installed, the version of regedit may not be compatible with the registry changes ie4.0 may have made. Check microsoft's web site to see if there is an updated regedit for win95 with 4.0.
I think I remember seeing something about this on:

Your best bet may be to extract the portions of the registry (by catagory) and import them one at a time till you find the one that has the error.
I had to do this once, and it was a royal pain in the you know where, but it saved my poor notebook from oblivion.
I hope there is some information there that can help you a little.

I have ver.OS2 "b" .I did not install IE4.0, I have IE 3.02, I don't think I will install IE4,from what I heard it is full of bugs.
path=c:\windows\command
Now try to do an attribute by doing the following
attrib system.dat -r -a -s -h
Now see if this works
Do exactly like I have the command line listed.
