The simplest answer is to ask the author. Contact Microsoft.com and search the Q&A. If you do not find an answer ask them what they mean.
Microsoft also maintains a site strictly devoted to errors. Look it up. Your site may be listed.
Good Luck

The first thing I would want to find out is which application is causing this error. Since this error comes up whenever you first log on, I suspect it is a program associated in the start up. It's been a long time since I've worked with Win98,and I'll get back to you on this, but I'm pretty sure the command I'm thinking of is "winedit"(type it in RUN), and then you can see what programs are associated to start up, plus it will let you disable them. If by then you don't know which of those programs is causing the problem, the next step will be a little tedious, in order to pinpoint the problem, disable all programs, and then enable them one by one until you get the error message and then you know what program it is. Once you know the problem program you have two options, reinstall or uninstall, depending on the necessity of it.
Good Luck!

Boot into safe mode by holding down the ctrl key before the 98 splash screen pops up. This will stop almost all programs and drivers that start when your computer starts. Then go to start, run and type in stsedit. This will show all you system configeration files. Look for load= or run= to see if any program is being auto loaded. Also look to start, settings, taskbar and start menu. Go to start menu programs and advanced. Then click on programs on the left and on start up. This will list some of the programs that start up with your computer. You can safely delete them from the right side, they will still be listed under programs on the start menu.

msconfig is the right command to handle with startup program.
your problem may be arived from your LAN card. have you intalled Realtek LAN card? if so, try reinstall the driver, or best of all, swap it.
