KK266R & scanregw=no boot, was ATI Launchpad failure

[lobsta1]

Posted in Video that I thought Launchpad with any entries enabled in MSCONFIG startup caused scanregw to fail access to registry on boot. After
disabling any startup ATI entry, did about 10 restarts & cold boots OK.
Loaded MS Streets 2001, problem back worse than ever. Found that all checked program entries in MSCONFIG startup were corrupted. Spent 2 days recovering from that & searching the Net for answers.

So far, completely cleaned out ATI & then reinstalled just ATI 7075 driver. No MMC or DVD. NET search says probably bad memory. Repl PC150,
256m stick with pc133 128m. Still no good. I'm at set at cas 3, no OC.
Search says NAV can cause this. Uninstalled Norton & cleaned reg. Seems
to be OK. Installed reskit from w98se cd. Bam! Windows encountered an error. Windows will restart & fix the registry for you!!!!! I'm back
to square one. Boot to DOS, scanreg /fix again, reboot clean. Try restart,
back to registry access problem. Multiple reboots later, no change. C-A-D
to end scanregw & came here. NET search also said error could be caused
by way MB accesses int. & ext. cache. Haven't tried turning them off yet.
It seems like I have to go through this for any software install.

Anybody got any other suggestions?

Update if anyone can help:

Using W98se with all MS updates, including IE5.5. Have since tried setting FSB to 100 & running multiple burnin passes of memdiag. Checked CPU temp &
is at 50C. Still getting scanregw errors on boot, especially if I try to
install any kind of software. After the last 2 software installs, on reboot,
sys did thorough scandisk. First time on all partitions, 2nd just on D.

Thanks

try disabling the scanregistry
i encounter these registry problems only when o/c

did u install the MB VIA 4-in-1 rivers? ( i just installed the AGP part since it crashes with my mx2 if i instaled everything) and did u enable agp 4x, if u did try putting in 2x

another is disabling the USB ports in BIOS if u don't use the USB

my too cents
