One possibility, try re-registering the system DLL files.

Go to START > RUN and in the RUN box type the following -

  regsvr32 urlmon.dll

Then press the ENTER key. You should see a brief message that the dll has been successfully registered.

Do the same with the following, one at a time, pressing ENTER after each:

regsvr32 Shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 Actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 Oleaut32.dll
regsvr32 Mshtml.dll
regsvr32 Browseui.dll
regsvr32 Shell32.dll

Then download and install this Microsoft patch, which will install DLL files that are compatible with Win9x:

  MCREPAIR.EXE

Answer YES when prompted to replace a Newer file with an Older version.


Alternatively, open your bootup log in Notepad (it's a text file), and examine it to find any devices which failed to load properly on startup (i.e. search it for the word FAIL). That log file is in C: root, and is called BOOTLOG.TXT

It might be a hidden file, in which case open an MS-DOS box and type the following command first (so that Notepad will be able to open it):

C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ATTRIB.EXE C:\BOOTLOG.TXT -H
