As your machine is booting...right after the initial bios (text) messages hit F8 you may need to hit it several times you should then be presented with a menu...and select safe mode post back with your results |

Also try this: Boot with a Win98 Startup diskette and copy Command.com from the diskette to C:\ on the HDD. Then remove the diskette and use CTRL+Alt+Delete to reboot. From the Dos prompt enter: Copy A:\Command.com C:\ Command.com in C:\ and in the Windows folder should be the same version.
