My Win 98 system will only boot in safe mode
In Device manager it says "compatibilty mode paging reduces overall system performance"
Drive A and C are using this.
There is no irq conflicts.
Help please?
It also has missing files such as himem etc.
Can you get these from the recovery disks? or win98 disk?

This may help:
Boot into safe mode and look in Device Manager for duplicate hardware entries. If any are found, delete the second instance. Then run regedit and search for "noide", without quotes. If found, delete the entry and reboot.

You can restore your system files by inserting your Windows 98 disk into the CDROM drive and then following these steps:
Click Start | Click Run | (Type in) sfc.exe
This will run the System File Checker software, which should repair any damaged files and replace any missing files that are necessary to the system -- like himem.
