What happens? How far does the boot get?

Can you start in Safe Mode?
-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.

If you can start in Safe Mode, open the C:\autoexec.bat file with Notepad, and post
back with the contents of that file.
