Yes, I believe the best thing you can do is format and reinstall Win98. In order to do that, you need a Win98 Bootable disk. You can download one from here: www.bootdisk.com (http://www.bootdisk.com)

Your current installation is faulty somehow.

Do you know how to format in dos, because i agree, that would probably be the best thing. just format and fdisk, then re-install windows. As for the boot disk, if you are using the win98 upgrade, then you would just re-install the first version of windows you had on there, and then install 98.

Formating in DOS:

When everything's loaded just say "format c:/u" and press enter. Follow the instructions on screen.

Reinstall after...good luck

MAKE SURE YOU FORMAT AFTER YOU FDISK OR YOU ARE GOING TO BE IN A REALLY SORRY CIRCLE !
