Hello Tech friends.
I just installed goback and now all is a mess.
Now when i try to run some of my programs I get these
strange errors.
1. Virtual Device Driver failed DLL initialization.
2. s32evnt1.dll is not a valid windows image
3. I cant even run Internet explorer or Add/Revove Programs
to try to uninstall GoBack.
I am running Windows 2000 Pro
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jamie Arias
 
Virtual Device Driver Error Message in 16-Bit MS-DOS Subsystem

The article is pretty straight-forward. You'll need to use regedt32.exe.
regedit.exe cannot create Reg_Multi_Sz strings. You can backup your reg and
create the ERD by going to; Programs|Accessories|System Tools|Backup, then
choose ERD, then if you check the box for "Also backup....", then the reg
will also be backed up to
%windir%\repair\RegBack
leaving the
%windir%\repair\
directory files intact as original installation.

If you need to recreate the VirtualDeviceDrivers key; highlight the key (in
the left-hand pane), then Edit|Delete Then (in the left-hand pane) position
the cursor on the "Control" key, (so you'll be creating directly under
"Control") then Edit|Add Key, then for the "Key Name:"
VirtualDeviceDrivers
You can leave the "Class:" blank Then proceed with steps four through seven.
