Windows98SE...shutting down and Startup

Expand Post »
Everytime I try to restart my computer from the start menu I always get the windows screen saying underneath..."windows shutting down" and it just stays there. When I reboot or turn computer on I always get the screen that has 1. normal 2. boot.txt? 3. safe mode....ect. Then it counts down and goes into normal mode. I have no idea what is causing this, I have checked a few other post on here with similar problems and can't seem to pinpoint my problem. Any help would be appreciated !!

THANKS
Heidi

Re: Windows98SE...shutting down and Startup

Try this to fix the shutdown problem:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/d...SE/Default.asp

That may resolve the boot issue as well. Let us know if it works or not.

Re: Windows98SE...shutting down and Startup

That last post wasn't too clear; at that site did you select Open or Save?

If you selected Save, try it again and select Open.

If you did select Open, what happened when you did?

Re: Windows98SE...shutting down and Startup

Okay, try the Save option then -- pay attention to where it is saved to -- then go to that saved location and see if you can open it from there. Here are some additional instructions from MS:

If you save this file or program to disk, you can run it later. This allows you to take precautions, such as the following, before you open the file or run the program:

Save your work and close other programs.
Disconnect from the Internet or any other network connections.

I'm signing off for now so I won't be checking this for awhile, but someone else may pop in to help if this still doesn't work. Good luck
