Any reason why you're using the first edition instead of SE?

=> 
=> 
=> 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
=>
