Hi Elizabeth,
I would suggest restoring the registry first. To restore a backup copy of the registry using ScanReg 1. Start your computer, press and hold CTRL, (or by tapping F8) select Command Prompt Only 2. At the MS-DOS prompt, type scanreg /restore. 3. Select the previous registry you want to restore, and then press ENTER. 4. When you receive notification that you restored a properly working registry, press ENTER to restart your computer. If that doesn't work, here are instructions on reinstalling Win98.
