Error message after boot

If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. I've tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. All the sudden after disconnecting from the internet everything froze. I had open Word programs minimized on my screen. I tried ctrl+alt+delete
>but that didn't do anything, so I just turned my computer off. When I turned it back on it went to a screen where I was given 4 options an d an error message:

>Microsoft Windows Millennium Startup Menu
>1. normal
>2. logged(\bootlog.txt)
>3. safe mode
>4. step-by-step confirmation.
>Windows has detected a registry/configuration error. Use scanreg to fix.


I tried opening it up in safe mode, but I didn't get any icons to appear on the desktop..nothing happened.
>Every help site says to use the start up disk to start the computer, but I dont have one. They also say open a MS-DOS prompt, but how can I do that if I can't even get to the desktop, where the Start Menu is located? I am not very computer-savvy, so I would appreciated very detailed suggestions or instructions.

Thanks

Windows ME Boot Disk

Get the OEM version. Make sure you have a formatted floppy in the A: drive before running the .exe you will download.

Some info about scanreg
