    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

    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
