Only loads in safe mode - HELP PLEASE!
Hi,
I have a Windows 98 machine as part of my set of network computers. My babysitter was using it, apparently, for MSN chatting. When I "woke the computer up" today, it had a fatal error message. I tried to restart and it went to the Blue Windows main screen, sat there for a few minutes (never going to the desktop) and then rebooted itself to the screen that gives me a choice to load in safe mode. I remember that one of the messages said that there was a problem with msgsvr32. What can I do to start to try to find out the problem? Can anyone give me some ideas? J Lo |

For a start, try these:
Windows 98 or Windows 95 Defaults to Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=143283 The Computer Always Starts in Safe Mode http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306615 If no joy, post back and let us know exactly what is happening and what the exact error messages are. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "J Lo" wrote in message ...

Hi,
My computer will only load in SAFE MODE. It begins to load, goes to the Window screen, then reboots itself and gives me the screen with SAFE MODE as an option. I have the EBD ... but what can I do to try to fix this system? Nothing new was added ... not sure why Windows 98 won't load properly. Are there any diagnostic or system checks I can try to identify the problem? Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Did you read the two articles I referenced and, if so, did the procedures
not work? -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "J Lo" wrote in message ...
