Default New Life for old machine

Anyone know of a good "how to" manual for restoring an
old Windows 98 machine? I inherited a '98 and would like
to learn something and get this thing humming again.
Right now it doesn't load up consistently. Sort of
starting from scratch.

Thanks

Why not post a bit more info about the machine.

What do you mean by:

Right now it doesn't load up consistently.

This is not the correct place for a 'how to' manual - no-one is going to
write you an essay on a topic that broad. Ask some specific questions about
specific problems and people will respond. If you want a general reference
manual then there are many available on the www, such as
