Installation problems in Windows (98/95)

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,

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

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???
