Default Keyboard doesn't respond after a while using command prompt.

When I start my pc and pressing F8 I can get into the command prompt.
But after a while the system hangs ,mostly when I use (to open files) the
dos editor "edit" or after writing some commands (they don't appear on the
sceen) my
usb keyboard doesn't respond it seems.
This could become a big problem if I have to reinstall Windows.
Please try to help ,this is really so annoying.

You should consider:
1. You are familiar with DOS utilities (e.g. EDIT, created
approx. 1980) but it is in your interest to find whether
Windows utilities (e.g. WORDPAD created 1990) meet
your needs better.
2. Reinstallation of Win98 seems likely to cure your
problems. Read http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w98_restore.html
on how to do it.

The reason why I sometimes use the "commant prompt only"
option is because some files can only be cahnged using the the F8
option on start.
