ok i have a computer thats running windows 98 that loads up but when it gets to the desktop it loads up all the progarms. after that the a little arrow with a hour glass next to it just sits there as if it is still trying to load up something.it stays there for hours not allowing me to click on anything or do anything? does anybody know why this is happening and what i can do to fix it? thank you
ddp it doesn't do it in safe mode it loads up fine. ok a strange thing just happen when i did control-alt-del to try and see what was not responding and the whole screen went black with just the little arrow and the hour glass just sitting there.
go into safe mode, than msconfig\startup at the run command. note what stuff is unchecked & checked as you are going to uncheck them all, restart in normal mode to see if it still happens or not. might be a hardware problem but not certain.
ddp it worked it load up find after i went in and unchecked everything like u said. thanks but i'm still unsure what caused it to do that.
start put check marks back on 1 at time & do the restarts till you find the culprit. go back to safemode than to uncheck that 1 & continue the proceedure just in case there might be others.
