Can you boot into Safe Mode?
Do programs run there? To boot to Safe Mode: -Start the computer and hold down the CTRL key till the Windows 98 Startup menu (boot menu) appears. -Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode" and press Enter. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Roy" wrote in message ...

If you can run programs in Safe Mode on the problem machine, you can download Hijack
This onto a floppy using a good machine, then copy it to a folder on the hard drive of the problem machine, and run it in Safe Mode. http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...HijackThis.exe Post back with the log file, and also post it to one of the forums listed below. My standard post about using Hijack This: Download, unzip, and run Hijack This from one of these locations: http://computercops.biz/downloads-cat-14.html http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...HijackThis.exe Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan". When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents, or similar). Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet. Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at one of these forums: http://forum.aumha.org/ http://forums.net-integration.net/ http://computercops.biz/forums.html http://forums.spywareinfo.com/index.php?showforum=30 http://tomcoyote.org/forums/ http://www.lavasoftsupport.com http://boards.cexx.org/ The folks there will tell you what to remove. A tutorial for using Hijack This is located he http://tomcoyote.com/hjt/ and an in-depth tutorial is he http://aumha.org/a/hjttutor.htm -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "Roy" wrote in message ...
