Our PC crasht leaving us no other option to reinstall Windows. This did not help either so we reformatted the C partition of the hard disk. Also we did a virusscan using a recent programm. At the end of all this we still have the following problem: Windows does not start up; it halts the PC in the start up screen. Next, only the safe mode can be used in starting Windows. No hardware conflicts can be found in the hardware configurations. PC configuration: Cyrix P100+ 40 M RAM 1.2 G harddrive Yamaha soundcard Creative Labs 6x CD-rom drive The PC had been working for some months in this configuration. The problem occurred upon installing a program via CD-rom. Any bright ideas on solving this problem are welcomed! Thanks in advance! Els & Danny els.vanderbiest@advalvas.be

Els, if you�re PC is an IBM Aptiva E-series, you could try this link. These PCs have been known to hang in the logo-screen during a cold-boot in win98. regards, Marcel Els Van der Biest <Els.VanderBiest@advalvas.be> wrote in message news:76ikl8$d6q$1@news3.Belgium.EU.net... >Our PC crasht leaving us no other option to reinstall Windows.

Howdy :) It sounds like it could be a software driver conflict. You didn't mention what the Last thing you did on the computer was before the computer started freezing up. Did you install a new software program or add a new hardware device??? -- DaveW2: "Don't try to baptize a cat."

Sorry, my mistake http://members.aol.com/don5408/win98/win98_hang.html (don�t why the last bit isn�t hypertext, but you�ll find it anyway)
