Problem booting up Win 98SE

[Guest gergoh]

Hi

 

Whenever I bootup my PC, the Window 98 screen will appear and the blue line

below will run. After awhile, the blue line stops and the system

hangs.Sometimes it restart itself and them hangs while the window 98 screen

is running.

 

Any one have advise or solution to repair this problem.

1. Back up essential data and configurations.

2. Run Disk Cleanup and eliminate wasted space (in

Temp. Internet or Temp files, Recycled Bin etc.)

3. Read carefully how to reinstal at

4. Reinstal Win98

Start the computer, tap the F8 key repeatedly until the startup menu

appears and select "Command Prompt only". Then type

"scanreg /restore", press "Enter", use the "Up/Down" arrow keys to

select a registry marked "Started" and press "Enter".

You might want to start a new thread with this. Also, as mentioned by

another poster, try importing the files from within XP.
