Hi,

I messed up my computer sometime ago. And it can never boot
now. My
operating system is Windows 98. Here is what happened:

1. I accessed my Set Up (BIOS) to change the setting of the
number key
light on my keyboard. Later I saved and exited.

2. Computer continued booting process and hung up in DOS mode
with
message that said mother board and mouse detected. No further
action.

I tried the following to no avail:

1. Reboot the computer in order to access Set Up (BIOS) again.
Computer
prompted a message: Accessing BIOS..., but it hung up there and
was not
able to get to BIOS.

2. I tried someone's suggestion to remove the battery of mother
board in
a hope to restore BIOS to its factory default setting. The
computer
would hung up as before.

I will appreciate if someone can help get me out of this mess.

James
