Yeh, it's just hung there....There are probably half a dozen ways one can bridge over this and on into booting up.

One way I've done this is to reinstall 98 over itself. That will correct whatever went wrong and no one offers anything better then I know that will work.....

Or alternatively you can press 'Ctrl' or F8 at boot to force the machine into the Windows Start Up Menu from where you can choose the step by step start up and see where it hangs.

But even then, having perhaps identified the point of the error you will probably still have to re-install 98 over itself !!
