    Post System busy?

    OS: W95 or W98 (I haven't seen it yet)
    When booting this laptop a blue screen
    appears stating: System busy .. press
    ctrl & alt .....

    I suspect a virus as I've only seen this error occur while IN windows.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanx.
    Bill

    Hit the F8 key on boot up.
    Select Step by step, and see what's holding it up.
    Restart, and select NO to that particular item.
    You should be able to at least get to safe mode.
