Thanks, and Win98 issues

I would like to say “Thank You” to the nice lady who told me that my brake lights were not working, and for not hitting my car. Seems that Hyundai’s have crappy relays, my horn was on the fritz a few months ago. Hope it get fixed today.
I also found a nifty new fix for Win98 (my home computer is still running this obsolete OS, I know, I just can’t afford an upgrade, and none of my favorite games work under Linux).
Seems that after my 13 year old installed the new version of AIM, the machine would crash on login. Very frustrating. Grr. So a quick search on “windows crashes on login” led me to discover that booting to DOS and running “scanreg /restore”, picking a date to restore the registry from, and blammo, it’s fixed.
