Running OS Win 98, can anyone tell me what "auditing mode" is, PC delivered set to auditing mode.Would this slow the PC down or would it work as normal?
Thanks

This will normally occur when running the computer for the first time. It is indicated by a message "The computer is running in auditing mode". It will tell you to shutdown and restart the computer.If the same message comes back up again thentry this to clear it:

* Shutdown and restart the computer. Press F8 when it says "Starting Windows 98" and choose "Safe Mode".
* When it gets into Windows, click on Start, then Run, and in the box type in REGEDIT and click on Ok.
* Then goto HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENT_VERSION/RUN.
* Delete any references to OEMRESET.EXE.
* Shutdown and restart the computer and the message should be gone.

Be careful when making any changes to the registry. You should always make a backup before performing any editing.

Cheers.
