win98 system registry checker

[MOgeeks]

After I upgrade to 768mb of standard ram, everytime when win98 cold boot up,

it will display something like "system registry checker has found some error,

window will shutdown and repair the registy".

The system will go ahead and repair and then reboot.

Most of the time, this process will repeat for 3 or 4 times before it finally boot up normally.

I looked up MS KB and remove some of the registry backup file and change some of the config setting, and it does not help, and the KB do mention that adding RAM may be the cause for the registry break down.

Is there anyway I can tweak the system and make sure it boot up alright?

Thanks.

bacillus,

Thanks for the reply.

I have done that and it did not help. What I have done so far:
I tried to set the file cache in different range with same or different value.
I set the chunkSize to 1024.

I aslo have CacheMan 5 installed and it did not help as well.

Thanks again.

does the same thing happen when you remove your new ram?

At first I was running 512mb of crucial and later on I change to 768mb of kingston.

Both gave me the same problem, in fact, 768mb has higher frequency then 512mb.

My motherboard spec allow the upgrade and recognize and boot-up check are fine with
all these ram.
Only thing is the starting of win98. I am running win2k dual boot and there is no problem with win2k.
It is most likely the way win98 handles the ram and I am looking at how can the OS be tweaked to handle the situation.

When I was running 192mb, there was no problem at all.

Thanks again.
