Thanks to all who replied about my home computer problem. I was able to start up the system in safe mode over the weekend and went to device manager found had two sets of audio drivers and 2 different HDD type 46 and 47 and 3 different CD roms.(Failed to mention in previous post, this HDD was formerly in another machine but had been working well in this machine for about 2 months) removed incorrect drives and 2 of the CD roms restarted computer and windows registry did self repair and been working OK since. Do you think I should still do a re-install of 98SE?
