Geez man, smell the coffee. You are using an illegal version of Windows
otherwise you'd not have had to find a product key as you'd have already had one. Then you come asking for help because said illegal version doesn't work properly. Now how the hell we supposed to know what you've actually installed, where it came from and for that matter how it may have been hacked in some way. And you are doing this on a microsoft newsgroup maintained by the same people you're ripping off!!!! Go out and buy a legit product as clearly you need help and it comes with some.

What's the error report and when do you get it? More info would help. Has your disk been wiped clean? Regards, Bill Watt Win98 Computer Help & Other Information http://home.ptd.net/~bwatt/ |

Come on pjp, ten year old technology and if you did it right, it has been
paid for in '98 or '99 and you want to keep getting money for it? I have lots of computers that came with win'98, should I have send money to MS every time I buy a $5 computer at a garage sale? A fair share, say 1%, would make you happy? And then you send me a brand new registration key, manual and CD?. How much do you ask for a key of win3.11, the ten floppy version? Yep I'm still running that too on an old IBM 95ak. I know, museum stuff, but if you claim I have to buy the key for a fair price just tell me where (Oops they came without key, how do we solve this?) And does Billy still pay the guys whose idea's he used to get the whole thing going from start? A fair share? And this from the makers of Vista ? "pjp" wrote in message ...

You probably got that setup screen because the system detected some sort of
problem and initiated a re-installation procedure, using the installation files stored on disk. You need to identify what sort of error occurred and whether there are still problems with the machine. Is yours a brand name PC, such as Dell? If so, the manufacturer will have diagnostic software available for download, or it may already be installed on your disk, and there will be a procedure for running diagnostics to confirm that the machine is still operating properly. If it's old enough to be running W98 it's probably old enough to be prone to hardware problems. The other possibility is that you somehow started the machine with a W98 installation CD in the drive. In that case you have replaced your installation of W98 with a different version, and it is likely that not all of the correct drivers were installed. But as Bill says, we need more details about the error, including the point in the startup process where it occurs and the exact wording of the message, before it's possible to take a guess at what's happening. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Marie" wrote in message ...
