Win98se won't complete boot-up

"John Ochs" wrote in message news:...
I tried to install a HP1310 printer and was unsuccessful. I tried to
uninstall it and I'm afraid that the uninstall took something needed with
it
as it now hangs in the middle of loading windows. It just stops. I ran a
startup in Safe mode and in the bootlog I found two errors.

Init = Mouse
Status = Mouse driver installed
InitDone = Mouse
Init =
LoadStart = DISPLAY.drv
LoadSuccess = DISPLAY.drv


I wondered if the "Init = ". was the root cause of the stall in loading
Windows. Then there is this failed entry:

[000C4E79] Dynamic load failed C:\WINDOWS\system\IOSUBSYS\smartvsd.vxd :
[000C4E79] Not a valid device - possibly corrupt

How would I fix these failures? I assumed that the numerous font failures
were due to using Safe Mode in creating this BootLog.

Complete bootlog is attached.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Can you boot to Safe mode? If so, open Explorer and go to the
c:\windows\system\iosubsys folder and move this file to another location.
To do this, you can right-click and choose Cut, then right-click on another
folder and choose paste, or you can use drag n drop.

Once you have done this exit and restart. If you get an error message about
the system not being able to find this file, then run Regedit. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD. Find smartvsd.vxd
on the list and delete it.

There are several failures in the bootlog that are normal. See this

This removed the error for the Smartvsd.vxd but I still can't complete the
boot process. It hangs in the same place every time. I have run Registry
Mechanic, RegClean, Registry Checker and none find any errors. Any ideas
where I should look next

You might take a look at this article:

Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188867

If that doesn't help you fix it, you might think about installing to a new
folder. See this article:

How to Install Windows 98 Into a New Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=193902

If you decide to try installing over the current installation as a
troubleshooting step, be sure to uninstall Internet Explorer first. You want
to get back to the version that shipped with your version of Windows. Do
this from Control Panel, Add/remove programs. When you are back to the
original version, it will no longer show up here as available to uninstall.

Installing Windows over a version with an updated Internet Explorer will
result in mismatched files and your Internet access will be broken until you
install the version that you had upgraded to or a newer version than that.

Thanks for the help Patty. After 5 days of troubleshooting I bought a much
larger hard drive, removed the old drive and switched to XP and reinstalled
the old drive and picked off the files I wanted to keep. It will now get
reformated and placed in an older computer my daughter uses for word
processing.
Again, thanks for the help.
