Pentium 2, 128 MB RAM

What is the first thing I should look at/replace? It's booting to Safe Mode though. 
Does not like the Normal mode.  Thanks.

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

I'll try it. But you don't think it is hardware?

I had that happen to me. I was tinkering with my BIOS overclocking and my video refresh rate. Anyway I managed to invalidate my video driver. Trying to reset the driver with the Hardware Manager did nothing. I had to go to the C:\Program Files\nVidia folder and run setup.exe again. I might've had to remove the driver and reboot. The point is that if a driver (or some invisible settings) that Win98 depends on has become corrupted, Win98 may only be able to take you to safe mode. So go if Gewg's suggestion doesn't fix it, then try some sessions of uninstalling and reinstalling drivers one at a time. So in direct answer to your question, "Yes. I think it's hardware. Maybe. Sort of. Well, the drivers, anyway. I guess." Good luck. On Friday, May 25, 2007 at 12:01 pm, anu wrote: >Thanks. I'll try it.
