SYMPTOMS
If an application deletes volatile registry keys, a section of the registry is written noting the change. When you reboot your computer, Windows NT reads the section of the registry and does not start.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, repair the registry by starting Windows NT Setup using the original Setup floppy disk or compact disc. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

To correct this problem, apply the fix mentioned below.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.51. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
