Hi, I am having a problem with W98 first edition on my other computer.

I did a virus scan this morning and it seemed to go on forever (about an hour) 
mostly on temp internet files, so I stopped it and it reported no infected 
files.
I am using McAfee Virus Scan.
After that I did a drive C: disk cleanup to delete the temp int. files. 
I then rebooted to recapture resources and the computer at the Windows "splash 
screen".  I tried this a couple of times, same result.  
I then booted using W98 startup disk and reinstalled W98. It installed all the 
files and then restarted the computer.  It is now hung at the "splash screen" 
that has the message "GETTING READY TO RUN WINDOWS FOR THE FIRST TIME"

Does anyone have any suggestions on what my problem might be.

I hate to think that I might have to reformat

thanks

Murray Reid
