Hi,

Try a WIN 98 registry restore

Create a WIN 98 FE or Second Edition bootable floppy disk by downloading then running the image file from. http://www.bootdisk.com

Make certain you choose the correct version of WIN 98 FE or SE.

Boot from the floppy disk, change Boot order in BIOS if necessary

At the A:> prompt type exactly

SCANREG /RESTORE

Choose the oldest copy of the five copies of the regsitry the system should have available.

OK out and accept the reboot.
