Is there a way to do a system restore in Windows ME from DOS?

My son's computer gives an error that says windows has detected a registry/configuration error. Run Scanreg.

It then tries to go into safe mode, but when it gets to the safe mode screen, there are no icons on the desktop. The mouse works ok, but in task manager nothing is runing. I can boot up to dos with cd rom by using a boot floppy.

I tried running scan reg from dos, but it says it is a windows program and must be run within windows.

I have norton system works, but it is not loaded on that computer.

Please help. He does not want me to reload everything.

Thanks.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
