complete shut-down
Hey. I have a question, obviously. The other day, my
computer froze, so I did the automatic Control-Alt-Delete method to shut it down. Well, instead of starting back up like normal, the whole Windows restarted and asked for my user name and long twenty-something number. After digging through the files and entering that number, I proceeded in starting the computer back up with the multiple 'Next's. I pushed finish, and then that's where I got stuck. I sat there waiting for everything to load back onto my background, and nothing happened. My mouse will move around, but that's about the extent I can do. No toolbar at the bottom of the screen, no icons, nothing. I was wondering what to do? Thanks. Baylor |

It sounds like Explorer is not loading (you can see what is loading with
C-A-D) and if so: Many people have gotten relief for this kind of problem by following the fix described in this article: Recovering From a Failed Internet Explorer Upgrade in Windows 98 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;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 "baylor" wrote in message ...
