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

When I had this problem with a 98 machine I finally had to
bott in Safe Mode and in the device manager, delete all
the drivers and re-boot.  It took several re-boots to get
all the drivers re-loaded, but after that all has been
well.  I took the drastic step of deleting all devices
except the mouse, keyboard, and system devices.  Just had
to have all the right drivers handy when it started asking
for those not on the hard drive.
