Rebecca... if this was using the windows tuneup function there is a
porbablity that may have caused the problem.... have had soemthing like that
occur a time or two..... since you are using win98 you may want to try this
method..... btw... it is a recommended tool by MS but little known . first
off.... this method is only for win98 orwin98se
1-boot to a dos prompt.... to do so hold the F8 key down as you are booting
your pc and it should come up with a choice of booting in safe mode and a
couple of other methods... using the arrow keys scroll down to boot to dos
prompt and hit enter
2-it will then come up showing a flasdhing C:\ prompt
# at that point simply type scandisk your pc will then preform a scan disk
and if any errors found repair them at the end you will be returned to a
C:prompt
3- when you are back to the C: prompt type this RXACTLY as it is here noting
the spacing etc scanreg /fix then and hit enter this will scan
and repair your registry when it is done it will inform you of such and
again return you to a c:prompt.... II then reboot my mahcine and have found
it usually has corrected my problems
If you have win me this method is the way to do the same thing.... do a scan
disk by whatever means you find easiest and then clcik start-run and type in
the following again noting the exact spacing etc scanregw /fix
it will do a registry scan,repair it if need be and reboot your machine.....
again this is a Microsoft recommended tool buitlin to winodws but not made
fully known to most people.... Chuck... in OK
