Default Windows 98 Start-Up Problem

Cant get the computer to continue its start-up process
after the "Windows 98" window appears. I think it is
missiing the necessary drivers. Any suggestions?

Boot Safe Mode (by holding down the Ctl key during
reboot), go to / Control Panel / System / Device
Manager, and start looking for yellow trouble flags
for damaged drivers.

http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=188867

Start in Safe Mode to begin troubleshooting:
-Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 Startup menu
(boot menu) appears.
-Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter.

You aren't going to find any yellow bangs for drivers in Safe Mode. Any damage
or conflicts only appear in DM after the drivers have attempted to load. They
don't load in Safe Mode.
