re: Reinstall Windows 98 with no setup screen Thursday, November 28, 2002 at 2:11 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jeremy (964 messages posted) If you can boot up in Safe Mode, then it is probably not a hardware problem. You should be able to rerun the Windows installation and it will retain all your data and links, but use the CD that came with your pc if it is proprietry. You will have to rerun any updates, such as IE6 and Direct X, after the reinstall.
