Thank you for your help.
I now have the computer up and running.
It still freezes and restarts itself sometimes but it used to do that before the reformatting.

it is a compaq keyboard, I have tried a Acer keyboard on it also with the same results.

I didnt get the reformatting done which is why i can only get into the computer on safe mode.
I am using the boot disc and windows98 download disc.

Can anyone here help me.
I am running windows98 and when reformatting the computer crashed and now i can only start in safe mode.
I have the boot floppy and 98 disc but am unable to use keyboard...
