Help! Win98 won't boot
Just to make sure we are on the same page--you were able to substitute
winfile.exe for explorer.exe and the PC still shut down? If so, the final thing I can recommend is renaming the config.sys and autoexec.bat files by changing their extensions to: .old and see if that helps. Otherwise, hope someone else jumps in with a good suggestion. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Kathy" wrote in message ... Thank you for your response. No, I did not have any anti- virus program running, but I read the article and tried that approach. The same thing happened: my computer shuts down when it reaches the Win98 startup screen. Also, I forgot to mention that when I try to run in safe mode, my computer shuts down as well. -----Original Message----- Did you have your anti virus program running by chance when you installed the SP? If so, you might want to try reinstalling the SP utilizing the approach in this article: Recovering From a Failed Internet Explorer Upgrade in Windows 98 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en- us;249191 -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "Kathy" wrote in message ... After downloading and installing the Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1, I restarted my computer per the instructions, and my computer turns off when it reaches the Windows 98 start-up screen. I tried to restart my computer several times, but it always shuts down before Windows load. I've tried using my back-up registry and I used scandisk and nothing wrong was found, but Windows still wouldn't start. What else should I try? I don't have a Win98 start-up CD, so I wasn't able to try replacing win.com. The only thing I downloaded before the problem was from Microsoft's site, so I doubt it could be a virus. Thanks in advance. . |
