The next time this happens choose option 3, Safe Mode, and see if you are able to boot into that mode. If you can't you may need to reinstall Windows by booting up with the 98 boot floppy and rerunning the Windows setup. If you can successfully boot up in Safe Mode, run the system file checker (sfc) by going to Start/Run, type sfc in the box and click ok. When sfc opens select the second option and type in the name of one of the system files that are missing, then click start. You will be prompted to select a function from a list of options, select the restore. You need to do this for each of the missing files. You will also need to have your Windows CD.
