Default help start win 98

Try starting your computer while repeatedly pressing the F8 key. With any
luck, a Startup Menu will appear that allows you to choose Safe Mode. You
should be able to start the system in Safe Mode and fix the problem
(re-enable Virtual Memory.)

NEVER disable Virtual Memory.
