110815 2003-01-03 19:53:00 I have a problem when starting w98, it starts multiple dial upp boxes (15) and then an error messages occurs. I have tired running NAV to find a virus or torjan or the like but it crashes - well has a windows blue screen error message part of the way through - does anyone have any suggestions ?

many thanks

Also goto your run command. Type in msconfig.
goto the startup tab.

110817 2003-01-03 20:26:00 what about the system file checker in the system info (pos in accessories) under tools, as a first go? Trev0 (1995)
