Before you attempt any such thing, I might ask the following:
What device(s) are on your primary IDE channel and which are on your
secondary?
Now are those devices with the yellow icon next to them all on the same IDE?
I would first boot into SAFE MODE and see then how the devices are listed in
Device Manager. It is very possible that you have duplicated (or no longer
installed) devices listed there that may be part of the problem. I recommend
you observe (and record) the listings in the device manager in normal boot
mode and then in safe mode before deleting and making any changes.
I cannot comment on that registry program as I have not used it. I would
caution to be very careful "playing" with the registry as it can be a very
bad thing if you are not careful and not quite sure what you are doing.

Thanks Bob. I will download those program and see if there is something that
will help my situation. I have tried a number of suggestions and nothing has
made any difference yet. I can not reinstall windows 98 from the CD-Rom. I
may have a copy on floppy. Not sure. There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to what effect that might have on existing programs. Do not want
to lose everything. BTW I have a program that is called Registry first aid.
It scans all the entries and list the ones that are incorrect. Are you
familiar with this program? If so is it useful? Paul

Hi Bob,
Since you are more familiar with uploading to this site than I am
you may want to upload ASTRA (works in DOS, for PCs that won't boot
to Windows) also. It ID's all the hardware similar to AIDA32.
Here's the download link:
http://www.sysinfolab.com/download.htm Or I can just e-mail it to
you (if you want it).

Computer dose not recognize the CD-ROM. Have tried disconnecting the
CD-Rom and turning the computer on then off and reconnect to see if it
GCT> would
recognize it and there is no evidence that it is in the computer at
all.
Can' t un-install because there is nothing to un-install. CD-Rom is
GCT> running
when a disc is put in.I do not have the installation disc. But it
probably
wouldn't install it anyway. It was working fine until I tried to run
automan. Had problems and have not been able to use CD-Rom since. Had a
computer tech try to get automan to run and he removed some things.
Don't
know if this caused a problem or not. Any ideas beside buying a new
one ?
