    I ran Registry Mechanic on my laptop a couple of days ago and it totally rearranged the registy on my PC. I now get the message "windows protection error,you need to restart, system halted" whenever I try to boot. I booted in Safe Mode (only option) and ran the restore registry option within Registry Mechanic. No luck! Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Assuming this options is available to you, and I do not think this is Windows XP?

    scanreg /restore from a DOS prompt (like on a bootdisk).

    As you have Windows ME.. you can use system restore ( unless you disabled it ) to restore back to a point before you ran Registry Mechanic ( a couple of days ago )


    Edit: I just noticed you have used System Restore.



    Are their any other error messages before or after the "windows protection error,you need to restart, system halted"?


    Also post you full system specs as Windows Protection errors can cover a multitude of things.

    Seems to me you have tried all that is possible.

    may I suggest reinstalling windows ME that might heal all the changes made by registry mechanic

    If certain programs do not work after reinstalling windows then you might have to reinstall them too.
