Hi.
When I restart my win-98 computer it wont restart correctly. It will just cycle back and forth from the start of bootup. I have to press delete several times then press f 10... then yes for it to boot up. It then beeps and away I go.
1)What doyou think is the problem?

Thanks Pat

Note the pattern of the beeps. Once you have the pattern of the beps noted go to the BIOS manufacturer website andrefference the beep code. Should help you determine the problem.

Hi Pat,
try booting up in safe mode (hold down the shift key or press f8 during bootup).
If you can get into safe mode run scandisk (thorough and automatically fix errors)
Once finshed run defrag.
This will check your hard drive for faults and mark them accordingly.
