Windows 98 start up/reset crash cycle Thursday, November 28, 2002 at 6:59 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Simon (9 messages posted) Hi, I'm having a problem with windows 98, when I start the computer it boots up so that I get the normal window display and then crashes and re-starts, going through the scandisk procedure and when it's booted up it crashes again. It repeats this cycle until I manage to shut it down before it crashes again. It's totally stable in safe mode. This problem started when I installed a new microsoft intellipoint wheel mouse. I've removed the old mouse drivers and replaced them with new ones that came with the mouse but this doesn't help. I've also removed all the programs from the startup folder which also doesn't help. Please help, I have no idea how to fix my computer and I'm getting desperate.
