Error Meessages

System has been locking up occassionaly and I have been having to restart,
everything seemed okay. This last time when went to restart system rebooted
to the point of loading Windows 98 then gave the following:
"While initializing device IOS:
Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load .\iosubsys subdirectory is
corrupt."
Is there anything I can try or do I need to have someone look at my system.
