Jacob,

My problems hasnt anything to do with that support page.  As it does NOT hang  there.. 
NOR does it boot into dos mode.  

I have already done that before..  Thats what i read before i even posted my orginal 
message.  Thats how i found that it is something to do with a DOS program.. BUT if 
you read closely what i said IT DOES NOT boot ANY dos programs.. as far as i can 
tell.. it just  says

WINDOWS 98 IS NOW STARTING YOUR MS DOS BASED PROGRAM... 


THEN it loads the config sys and then the autoxec.  then boots to windows with no 
problem after that!

I am just wonderign why it says that  now instead of  "Starting WINDOWS 98"

I also said  in my original post. that i HAVE already tried removing the autoexec 
and config sys before and also have tried to use blank ones too!  And i still get 
that text saying that everytime i boot up!.

So you see that is NOT the same problem i am having.  It seems it has nothing to 
do with my autoexec.bat NOR the config.sys files!

And as far as the other doodes  request for me to SWITCH TO LINUX.. obviously wasnt 
much  of a help.   

This is regarding his boot sector  Virus statment.. I CHECKED  with many programs 
.. and it ALSO shows up CLEAn and  working fine!  No corruption nor any viruses are 
in the boot sectors!
