re: Compaq won't start Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 12:58 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by m.lawrence (69 messages posted) So the computer isn't running a bios check at boot?Like reboot and it runs through the ram,what hardrives you have,etc.?it just comes up blank with "81920 KB OK" up in the left corner?If it runs through bios and then you get that message then it's your os,if it doesn't do anything at initial boot,just displays that number and that's it,I would say you have a hardware failure On Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 12:36 pm, heather wrote: >A blank screen - except for "81920 KB OK" in the top left - is all that comes on >when I turn on my 1998 compaq laptop.
