Default PC locks up after boot and login attempt

The login accounts window shows up as normal, but after entering the password
to logon I get these messages before the PC locks up:

"The volume that was removed had open files on it. Next time check to see
if the volume can really be removed. Press any key"

I press a key, then see

"The file system mounted on the volume had data that needed to be flushed.
some data on the voume was lost. Next time ... (ditto). Press any key."

I press a key again, then see

"Fatal Exception ... "

then the PC is locked up at this point.

I am running Win98, Pent III, 800 MHz, plenty of hard disk space.
Rebooting leads to same result.

Thanks for any help.
Doug

You most likely have a Promise controller card or Promise onboard controllers for
your IDE drives....take a look at:
http://www.softsynth.com/jsyn/Â*supp...ved_error.html for an explanation of the
problem.

Go to http://www.promise.com/support/downl...wnload_eng.asp (or go to the
support site of your motherboard manufacturer if it is an embedded onboard
controller or a controller card included with your brand computer) and get the
latest updated driver for the Promise controller.

Systems from Dell, Gateway, Micron, NEC, Fujitsu and others may include a Promise
controller; and many motherboards contain an embedded Promise controller.

A few years ago, had the same problem. Installed an updated promise
controller driver, and all went well.
