Ok update time. I managed to get into the safe mode and this popped up on
the screen.

SBS.DRV cannot load because VSBS.386 is not available. Check your
SYSTEM.INI Windows configuration file.

Well I found the VSBS.386 file under c:\Program files\Battery Scope. Does
it need to be in the SYSTEM.INI file or what. Going to try and see what
happens. Let you know what happens.

My husbands laptop is giving me fits. If I start the system is DOS or go
into startup, the system will stay on. But within 1 minute of going into
Windows after startup the laptop will shutdown (hiberation mode) and will not
start back up for me. I have to manually powerdown the computer. This has
been going on for some time.

I even rebooted the system and re-enstalled Windows98 thinking that would
solve the problem and it has not.

Anyone have a suggestion? Oh btw, it is Win98, Sony Vaio.
