re: win 98 re-install Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 3:27 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Gerry Kroll (1986 messages posted) Start in Command Prompt mode. Hold the CTRL key while the computer is booting. This will produce a white-on-black boot menu. Select Command Prompt only from the menu. Type these commands, hitting Enter after each one: deltree   /y   c:\*.sav ren   c:\config.sys   *.sav ren   c:\autoexec.bat   *.sav Restart your computer. If you still have that error, you didn't install W98 correctly. In that case, here's a procedure that might help. http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/win95/r1071319853 On Tuesday, December 30, 2003 at 2:22 pm, dan wrote: >I re-format my pc because it kept on freezing and logging me out prematurely.
