HELP!!!!

Hi,
I have win 98 and get this when I try to start up:
Invalid V x D dynamic link call from VWIN32 (01) + 00000714 to device
"0009", service 1

I also get another one that is almost the same except after the + is
00000782 to device "0009", service 2

it will only let me start in prompt mode any clue how to fix this. I can't
afford to get a new system or to pay someone to fix it.
Thanks in advance,
Amy

1. Can you start Windows in Safe Mode? This is
usually done by holding down F8 during reboot,
or else the Ctl key.

2. Can you reload an old Registry known functional
before the date when you changed whatever caused
this malfunction? This is done by:
-- DOS boot
-- CD \Windows\Command
-- SCANREG /RESTORE
and choose a date.

3. What did you change (that caused this)? Can
you change it back?

I czn't start in safe mode Nothing comes up. I have tried the scanreg and it
says it's a invalid command or file. I don't think I did anything to cause
it. We only use it for internet and playing a few games.

The following discussion suggests that the problem can be caused by a
network card or driver:

I tried all of these and only get bad command or file name. I tried the links
also. I can only start in command prompt and almost all the command's say
bad command or file name or they try to start windows and I get the error's.
One time I did get that it couldn't be done in DOS mode. Scanreg doesn't
do anything either. Just says the command file name thing. Sorry I am not
very computer literate. Any other suggestions?

Your fastest route back to Internet and email is
probably to reinstal the operating system. This
requires both a CD and a boot floppy which we
assume you possess, and you can read how to
reinstal at
http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w98_restore.html

If you are unready to do this, ask any librarian or
school teacher you may know to recommend a
well-disposed teenager who can do it for you.
One fast food meal and one DVD of choice
would be a fair payment. Installation takes about
45 min. i.e. much time is spent waiting -- and your
teenager can profitably use this time coaching
you in good PC housekeeping methods.

Start the computer in DOS, type the following command line and restore
a previous registry.

c:\windows\command\scanreg /restore

On imperfect installations, this may be the
single most common boot error, often reported
wrongly (i.e. the file is in C:\Windows where the
Windows start routine looks for it.) There is a copy
on your booting floppy so you can always
ACOPY A:HIMEM.SYS C:\WINDOWS
and reboot.
I used to need to do this every few months but not
since I rebuilt the Win98 system.

I've had to go this route a couple of times.I did it this way.

Reboot and tap F8 key a few times and then hold 'steady,and with much
groaning and pinging it comes back in a safe mode screen. Chose 'Prompt
in Safe Mode Only' and entered.

At prompt cd\windows\command enter
Type at prompt scanreg/restore
Then choose date and enter.

Works on my machine. The only way it works for me is in Prompt In Safe
Mode Only.

OP said he couldn't get into safe mode but could get to prompt,maybe he
was at the dos prompt in windows and not true dos. If I'm off on this let
me know.
