Desktop will not finish loading
Friend is running 98 and windows will not finish loading, it just sits at the desktop screen. There is no task bar or icons to click on, when I right click nothing happens, but I can do Ctrl Alt Del and get the task manager to be able to shut down but does not show any running processes. It even does this in safe mode.
Anyhelp at all, I did run F_Prot for Dos and it found a couple spyware viruses but it still will not do anything else. Help David |

Tapping F8 try Step-by-Step
Has there been any hardware or software recently added before this started. Try restoring the registry to an earlier one. Select Command Prompt from the Boot Menu (F8 during boot) Then type the following: scanreg /restore (hit <enter>) If no reply then type: cd windows (hit <enter>) scanreg /restore (hit <enter>) |

Something in your boot process is trying to load but keeps on loading or fails and makes it impossible for windows to continue to load ... i have no idea how to get to fix the boot process without getting into safe mode, instead of scanreg /restore, try getting into normal prompt and use scanreg /fix (himem.sys must be loaded!)
