Any chance this disk got sys'd with a bootdisk from a different version of Windows? You might get some pretty strange errors doing that. Same could be said for the himem.sys file, if perhaps Windows is trying to boot safe mode.
Just tossing out a few thoughts. Never know.

Sorry,that was not very clear

He means, is there any chance that the system files were written back to the hard drive with a startup disk from a different Windows version? If so, it needs to be redone using a Windows 98 startup disk.
Need to install Windows again?
