Here is a description of what scanreg does and how to use it : http://www.perfectdrivers.com/howto/scanreg.html

If you're having to run it constantly to get everything working then your hardware is suspect provided you've done a thorough check for malware.
Download memtest from here and copy it to a floppy to use : http://hcidesign.com/memtest/

If you installed any software just before it all started uninstall it and see what happens.
That's all I can tell you without more info. so please post your specs and tell us more of what's going on.

What operating system are you using?

Did this always happen with this computer or did it start recently?

Did you install anything prior to the problem showing up?

Have you scanned for viruses, spyware, hijackers and trojans?

This is probably related to your other thread - so let's close this one and work with the other one. Please answer Cricket's questions in the other thread.
