My PC at work-a compaq deskpro starts quiet well when you switch it on but the moment " Starting windows 95 " appears, a game I installed called Word Gallery takes over. You can play the game quiet alright but when you quit, the PC reboots and the same process repeats itself. How can I get this PC to boot normally?

Sounds to me like the program is in your Startup items. Have you checked that folder to see if the program is in it? Start| Programs| Startup

Hi,
You need to start windows in Safe mode, by tapping F8 on boot. After you are in safe mode; go to start,run,type in msconfig,click OK, from grneral tab select "selective startup" then go to WIN.INI tab, click + sign of windows, uncheck load= andrun=, then go to start up tab, uncheck the game program , clicl apply, click OK. System will ask you to restart the computer. Restart.
Have good luck.
