Just want to let you know that I found the solution to this on McAfee's site.

I was on the phone talking my brother through downloading a McAfee anti-virus update. The download when fine. Since I wasn't sure if the machine needed rebooting to activate the download, I had him restart the computer...and the boot process stops at the Windows 98 banner screen. I had him boot to safe mode and run the AV and it didn't find anything. Running scandisk (thorough) as I write this. Not sure if these are necessary, but had to try something. Thanks Kurt
