The one thing I keep forgeting to say is I can't boot into windows, only safe mode.

[gerryf]

sorry about the link....

[amunra]

I unchecked all under the general tab, restarted the computer and it is still freezing at the second win98 logo screen.

[gerryf]

OK, we're spinning our wheels with this one....

In safe mode, do a search for all cab files

*.cab

if found, where are they located (typically a folder called C:\options or c:\windows\options)

[amunra]

Finaly got the computer to boot into windows
I deleted all the disk controlers, restarted the pc and boom it worked. Now all I have to do is get my cd-r drive to work.

[gerryf]

IN device manager, do you see your drive?

[amunra]

No, but I do see yellow ! before the ide controlers.

[gerryf]

and double clicking on the yellow reveals what message?

[amunra]

It says that the driver is not loaded, I am thinking about trying to install win98 again in dos, because my cd drive works in that mode.

[gerryf]

wait...select the ide drive with the yellow !, double click, ask it to update driver....point it at c:\windows\inf

[amunra]

it says unable to locate the driver.Going ahead w/ setup.

[amunra]

Tried reinstall and now cd drive does not work in dos or windows.

[gerryf]

back to device manager. What do you see?

Can you tell me anything about this system? Motherboard ?

Also, the yellow ! you see, what exactly is it before? Primary? Secondary?
