I have an IBM NteVista running Windows Millennium. One night I turned off my computer, came back the next day, and THIS is what it said when I booted....

"Windows may be unable to process the registry. This may be fixed by rebooting to the Command Prompt Only & running SCANREG /FIX. Otherwise there may not be enough free conventional memory to properly run the registry."

Then suddenly it shift into normal mode.

How can I reboot to Command Prompt Only? Will this work? What the hell is a registry?

Please help....thanks
