What do you mean by "diagnostic startup"? Did you use "Step-by-Step" from the
Startup Menu. or did you use settings in MSCONFIG (System Configuration
Utility), or what?

Reason I ask, is I'd like to know what's in your CONFIG.SYS, but it may have
been renamed to CONFIG.TSH or something else. Suggest you look for any
C:\CONFIG.xxx where xxx is any extension. Use Notepad to open them and
Copy/Paste the contents of each here.

I ran the diagnostic startup to bypass configsys file and that fixed the
problem with hanging up at startup, now when I click on Control panel,
Display, Settings the screen goes blank and hangs up win98. Are there any
answers to this mystery?
