Solve : Windows seems to boot, but...? |
|
Answer» I just got a hand-me-down Windows 98 machine for my kids. I loaded a stupid VeggieTales game and now when the computer boots, all I get is the background/wallpaper. All the FAQ and searching I have done on this site has just uncovered instructions that involve GOING through Start and Run, options I don't have. Can I uninstall this program through DOS? If so, how? Help! Much obliged.Find out what still WORKS. Can you startup in "Safe Mode"? (Tap the F8 key about once a second as the computer is starting up and then select "Safe Mode" from the startup menu that should appear.)If you can't boot into safe mode or get the same result, try pressing winkey+R. This is the keyboard shortcut for going to start and pressing run.Oops. I forgot to mention in the first place that Safe Mode gave me no relief. It still acts like it's locked up in Safe Mode. I have now tried (what I think is) the winkey + R with no success. I assume the winkey is one of those down near the space bar next to ALT. Thanks for trying to help. Any other ideas?The winkey is the button with the windows logo on it. Does Ctrl-Alt-Delete work?If you can boot into DOS, then work your way to the C:\Windows\Command subdirectory. Now type scanreg /restore That should GIVE you a list of registry restore dates. Choose one PRIOR to the problem happening. Alan <>< |
