Hi,

Anyway you can remove the drive and check for virus's by placing in an
other system you know is virus safe and protected?
Either by direct hook up or through an external USB/firewire box.

Or by booting from floppies or CD and have latest updates to load, so
you don't ave to access windows.

Thanks and have a Great Day!

====================================

I am troubleshooting a Win 98 computer, 128 RAM.  After Start > run >
and typing in "msconfig"  the screen appears and immediately disappears.
What would cause this?  Is there another way to get to msconfig. I have
gone to MS KB but got nothing for msconfig.

I did scandisk - no problems.  Dfrag kept stopping at 10%.  I couldn't
get into safe mode to do defrag.  Also the wallpaper colors (photo) are
splotchy looking.  I tried to use Housecall (viruschecker) and it
stopped downloading twice. Once at 26% and then at 95%.
