What about the autoexe file?Please help as my fathers driving me up the wall & i want to know whats up with his pc.Cheers
 
If it is hanging how about configuring your swap file and rebooting and try that.
 
Does the DOS box appear after Windows has booted? If so, check the start-up portion of the registry (maybe msconfig missed something). In 98 (run regedt32.exe I think), I believe it's the same as XP, which is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\.

If you want to check the autoexec, start Notepad and open C:\autoexec.bat. Look for any lines that refer to whatever's opening. For example, you might find C:\Windows\Match.exe or C:\Progra~1\<something>\matchli.com or any entry that appears related to whatever's causing that DOS box.

Good luck...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
