Darlene,
Windows98 has a feature called "msconfig." You can start this by
typing it in the RUN box. If you will click the Advanced button under
the "general" tab, you will find a box to disable the scandisk after
a bad shutdown. Now, in MSCONFIG, try disabling some of the
features... one at a time and then reboot:
goto: Startup tab and disable the "loadpowerprofile"
goto: General tab/advanced and disable "fastshutdown"
goto: General tab/advanced and click EMM exclude AA000-FFFFF
Generally speaking these can cause the problem you are
describing and they can be done without effecting how Win98
functions. If they do not do it, then under the STARTUP tab
you can starb disabling different addon programs from startup...
I hope this helps... now I think we should close this discussion
for this Mailing list as it is OFF TOPIC. Further discussion of
this subject should go to our Sister mailing list: PC-MS
