HOW
While the computer is booting, press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will
appear. Safe mode is one of the selections. "Hippy2005" u16967@uwe wrote in message news:5962d8bb796b2@uwe... HOw does one reboot to safe mode?

HOW
More likely tapping the Ctrl key will bring up the menu. You can also go to
the start menu, run and type: msconfig. When the screen appears, click the advanced button and mark the box: enable startup menu. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "mdp" wrote in message ...

HOW
- Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 Startup menu
(boot menu) appears. OR - Repeatedly tap the F8 key after the memory count to bring up the boot menu. - Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter. You can also enable the boot menu on every boot (until you disable it again) using the option in msconfig's Advanced section....see here for more info: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT...01052409420406 -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Hippy2005" u16967@uwe wrote in message news:5962d8bb796b2@uwe...

HOW
I see a virus is suspected. I guess try Safe Mode. If that fails, run a DOS based scan. To get to DOS, hold CTRL as you boot for the Startup Menu, & select "Command Prompt Only". Then, run one of the following...
http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/virtest.htm - formal scanning www.f-prot.com - free DOS-based av www.nod32.com - free DOS-based av evaluation www.sophos.com - free DOS-based av evaluation ........Quote.......... If you want to really check your machine, run a virus scan in DOS. http://www.f-prot.com/products/home_use/dos/ free Make sure you get the latest definitions which are accessible from the same page. Create a new folder named fprot or whatever you wish, preferrably on a separate drive/partition. Extract the downloaded files to that folder. Reboot to pure DOS from the startup menu by selecting DOS Command Prompt. At the prompt change to the drive/directory where the fprot folder is at. Once in the directory type: fprot\f-prot.exe and press Enter. You will have to navigate with the keyboard if you have not set up the mouse to run in DOS. Set up the scan as you wish and run it. When finished press Alt+F and close. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del or type win at the prompt to reboot. -- Brian A.
