Problems with my PC

[Oi_Oi_Savaloy]

Hi everyone

I've had my Pentium III 450 for ages now but it's never given me any hassle at all. Until last Saturday.

I switched it on as usual and it did it's usual start up routine. Once I'd tapped in my pasword (at the windows prompt) it usually boots up to the desk top quickly but on Saturday all I got after I hit 'Enter' was a blank screen with no icons on it.

I've tried again each day since Saturday and I get the same thing.

Can anyone help me? What I have done to it!! I treat that thing with kid gloves (I always shut down properly etc etc).

Help!

What Op Sys?

I'm running Windows 98 and I'm not sure how to run it in Safe mode. Do I have to press F1 as it boots and find safe mode in the settings there?

[plotloss]

As it boots press F8

When you get into safe mode get up the run dialog and type

scanreg /fix

Then reboot and try again in normal mode.
