Are you able to start in Safe Mode?

To get into Windows 98 / ME safe mode as the computer is booting you continually tap your "F8 key" on the top of your keyboard. If done properly you should get into the "Windows 98 / ME Startup Menu". In this menu choose option 3 by pressing the 3 key and press enter.
