Garbage on Restart After Installation by Sue
I'm trying to install 98 on a clean hard drive. The installation goes off without a hitch, but when it restarts after loading, a bunch of junk characters are thrown up on the monitor from the top down and the computer beeps. This happens until it is shut off. Any ideas, anyone?
