turns on then shuts down
whenever i turn on my system,it runs like it should till
the fullscreen Windows 98 loading pic comes on.its starts to load on that screen like usual,but for only about 2 seconds. then the scree comes on that says "it is now safe to turn off your computer." Safe mode, step-by-step config.,and MS-DOS mode won't work; same thing happens,minus Win 98 loadingpic.Closed system,no virus protection, very slight chance of virus due to transfered document from floppy. posted 5/16/04 5:00 pm Central SOMEONE RESPOND ASAP Desparate

Well, I suggest you buy a Win98SE CD online (it is still available many places),
format, and do a fresh install of Windows for yourself. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Derek" wrote in message ... I'm back.

Sounds like a second stage Hard Drive issue where Windows loads the
windows hard disk driver and the drive causes a hardware signal and shutdown is initiated. It's an issuwe when a hard drive starts to go bad. Maxtor is famous for it. The funny part is you can still use this drive on a Windows 95 or Linux suystem for a while (sometimes months) before it fully dies.
