re: I spoke too soon Sunday, July 13, 2003 at 12:29 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) Things are beginning to dwindle down to the problem Mable. If when you typed PATH, you received this: PATH=C:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK;C:\PROGRA~1\WIN98RK;C:\ PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\ULEADS~1\MPEG You have a problem and it must be in the Config.sys file. Boot up again and from the C:\> prompt, type these two commands followed by pressing enter after each one. REN CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.OLD (note the two spaces) REN AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.OLD (note the two spaces) Restart the system again........
