This next sentence was supposed to be "thanks much," and close this
long thread. But what I did with DBLBUFF.sys and IFSHLP.sys caused
this: in the initial DOS W98 Start Menu screen, I usually enter to
avoid the 8 seconds wait I had set up.

and then windows starts normally.

(Now) I enter, a short message
flashes, and the computer shuts off. No fun.

What next to do?

Using a boot disk, in windows folder, I deleted DBLBUFF.sys and
IFSHLP.sys . Now in DIR, I don't see them.

But it still shuts down before windows starts.

BTW, since the original problem, in a DOS screen, in C\Windows are a
USER BAD, and SYSTEM BAD folders.

Windows 98 needs "c:\windows\dblbuff.sys" and "c:\windows\ifshlp.sys", so
I would put them back. Also, try extracting a fresh copy of "c:\windows\wininit.exe"
from your Windows 98 CD. If this doesn't help, try tapping the F8 key during
bootup and selecting "Step by step confirmation". This may help to determine
what is causing the shutdown.

I got into a new world- trying to find wininit.exe in which cab file.
I am looking in my W2K folder at the W98 OS CD, using a cab file
utility with no luck, browsed for finding it, see a W95 answer.

Do you have a clue as to which cab file has this file?
