If Something Goes Wrong
Windows 98 Second Edition is not working
Most of the information contained in these files is now stored in
the Registry. However, they are still processed during system
startup. Bootlog.Txt file contains a record of all the components
and drivers loaded during startup and the status of each. When you
select Step-by-step confirmation, you can view all these files one
line at a time to help diagnose the cause of a problem.
Command prompt only
Selecting Command prompt only starts the basic operating system
with all the startup files and device drivers.
Use this option when you want to run MS-DOS or Windows 98
Second Edition commands. This option is for advanced users who
are familiar with MS-DOS and know what these commands do.
Safe mode command prompt only
Selecting Safe mode command prompt only bypasses the system
start-up files and displays the command prompt.
Use this option under these conditions:
❖ Windows 98 Second Edition fails to start even in Safe mode
❖ You want to run MS-DOS commands such as Edit to make
changes to your startup files
❖ You want to avoid loading Himem.Sys (extended memory
manager), or Ifshlp.Sys (file system manager)
Internet problems
My Internet connection is very slow.
Many factors contribute to the speed with which you can surf the
Internet. They include: modem speed, time of day (when everyone
else is surfing, your access can be slow) and popularity of the site.
If accessing a particular site is very slow, try later.
