re: Computer doesn't respond in normal or safemode Friday, January 2, 2004 at 5:33 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JmC (14166 messages posted) Lets check the .ini files and replace Explorer.exe if necessary. This is the same editor you checked the Bootlog with, and the procedures are the same. Boot to a C:\> prompt again. From the C:\> prompt, type CD C:\WINDOWS.000 and press enter. From the next prompt, type EDIT WIN.INI and press enter. Check the two lines listed below: load= run= There should be nothing entered after the = sign on either line. If there is, edit the line to read as above. Now check the System.ini file in the same manner. The line to check is: Shell=Explorer.exe There should be nothing entered after the Shell=Explorer.exe listing. If there is, edit the line to read as above. Reboot the computer with a Win98 boot disk, select CD rom support when prompted. Note which drive letter the CD is assigned. Place the Win98 CD in the CD rom drive. Now from the A:\> prompt, type EXT and press enter. The first prompt you see will ask for the location of the CAB files, enter E:\Win98 (or the assigned drive letter):\Win98 and follow the instructions. You need to extract EXPLORER.EXE to the C:\WINDOWS.000 directory. If you receive any errors relating to the copy process, rename the installed EXPLORER.EXE. From a C:\> prompt, type REN C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE EXPLORER.OLD and press enter. Then try the 'EXT' procedure again. Be sure to note the spaces in any command lines.
