Win98 startup freezes
Hi,
I'm having problems with a Pentium-266/98MB RAM booting Win98. It never reaches the desktop and freezes in the Win 98 logo screen with the blue progress bar beneath. Upon restarting it will sometimes offer a menu offering several options to boot. I've tried two: 1) Safe mode. Upon entering I run Norton's Disk Doctor and reboot. Freezes again in normal mode. 2) Normal mode with logfile. It freezes in the same point and no logfile is generated. What else can I try? |

Where are you looking for the boot log? It is a hidden text file in the root of
C:\, named Bootlog.txt You must set your View settings from within Safe Mode, to Show All Files (Start Settings Folder OptionsView tab) -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "speeder" wrote in message ...
