I can't assist you at the moment, but I thought I'd clarify your message and get rid of the old stuff. I am also going to share this post with the Windows 98 General Discussion group, since this one gets little traffic. -- Gary S.

(1) START button, Settings, Folder Options, View tab. Bolt "Show all files" & UNcheck "Hide file extensions..." (2) "START button, FIND, F/F, Wnbootng.sts". (Should be in C:\Windows.) R-Clk it, & select "Delete" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q306615 Always Starts in Safe Mode Here is a way to edit MSDOS.sys. This is an important file. (1) You won't even see it, unless "START, Settings, Folder Options, View tab" is bolted "Show all files"; may as well uncheck "Hide file extensions..." too. (2) Find "C:\MSDOS.sys" and back it up. Call the backup MSDOS.bck, in C:\. (3) Then, R-Clk "C:\MSDOS.sys", Properties, and uncheck Read-Only. (4) Open it in Notepad, delete the "BootSafe=1", or change it to "=0", save it, & quit Notepad. (5) Then, R-Clk MSDOS.sys again, and make it Read-Only. Reboot. (6) Can't reboot? Then, in DOS, copy the backup over the one you've mussed. (a) ATTRIB -R -S -H C:\MSDOS.sys (b) COPY C:\MSDOS.bck C:\MSDOS.sys © ATTRIB +R +S +H C:\MSDOS.sys http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q118579/ Contents of the Windows Msdos.sys File NOTE: If you have a "C:\Winboot.ini", it will override MSDOS.sys, though. So, check for that too. It has the same format/instruction set as the other. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR pcrrcp@netzero.net Gary S.
