Blank Screen on Win 98

Blank screen on windows 98.

Need help my windows 98 only shows a blank screen when I boot up, the curser just sits there and there is nothing I can click on. Upon boot up it goes through the bios then boots into 98 then the task bar appears for less that a second and is gone. I have tried rebooting to safe mode hitting F8 and well it gets me into safe mode but the task bar is still missing and it only shows safe mode in the top corners.

I also tried running scanreg/restore and scanreg/fix at the command prompt. It ran through the scanreg but still continuing to do the same thing. At one time it said my himem.sys was missing so I put in my 98 startup disk and did a copy himem.sys c: windows and still got nothing .So now I ask the experts what?s my next move.
