So I have this old HP Pavilion that used to work, but after downloading some updates, I've had nothing but problems. I purchased a Win 98 Boot-CD Fix disk from ebay, in the hopes it would replace dll files, etc. Problem is, when booting the computer, it tells me to press Enter to boot from the fix it disk. At that point, the keyboard isn't recognized, so it defaults to the system boot. It gives me the "drumming" window updates icon. After a little more than halfway through the updating process, I get a screen full of vertical stripes and everything locks up.

Any ideas?
