should start by breaking up with him!!

Then try to boot into save mode and delete what he installed. To boot into safe mode hit f8 during start up.

It's common knowledge you lend your Husband/Boyfriend out a long time before you even consider loaning your computer out. :p

Never lend out your computer. Or your flash drives. Or your digicam, your camcorder, your ipod, boombox, coffeemaker. Never lend books either.

Boyfriends on the other hand are dispensable.

Firstly - posting a message in all caps is the equivalent of screaming at us. We don't like to be screamed at, no one does.

Now, if you have a message on a bluescreen of death, your laptop is powering on, but cannot load Windows for some reason. We need to know what the bluescreen says. It has lots of lovely clues as to what is causing the problem.

Windows 98 is an Operating System. What Operating System was originally on the laptop? Do you have 'Restore Disks' or an Operating System disk for the original OS?

Do you know how to enter the BIOS, and if so are you able to?

Lastly, why do you let other people download things to your computer?

Win 98 is FAT32, what is the filesystem of your hard drive?

by the scummy one

then likely it was a pirated copy and a virus was installed
onto the system.
best off to backup data and restore with the restore disk
(after securely wiping the drive and master boot record)

It tells us what is happening here but without it there is nothing that we can tell you as we have no idea what is happening here.

However if you care to read this it tells you How to Ask a Question The Smart Way.
