Welcome Grubit. This is with the presumtion that you are using WIN98 for an O/S. Click on My Computer/C/Windows/Regedit. This will give you Registry Editor File. Open this file(check properties of same and make sure read only is not checked) and then click the the word registry at the top/left. This will give you the option to print. This will get you started with the current Registry you are using. Now comes the fun part. Windoz does a backup for you of your Registry using your five previous boots. Using a DOS prompt type scanreg/ restore (with space after/ ) and select a previous Registry File. Allow your O/S to install this for you and proceed with the first procedure once more. Another method of pulling a previous Registry File is to re-install one from your back-up. Then print that one. If there is an easier method The Troops will be along to help. Luck.
