re: WIN98SE hangs at the splash screen at boot up Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 10:08 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by mark (1036 messages posted) Reboot and this time hold down the F8 key(or the control key)till the Startup menu appears. Then select the step-by-step confirmation and hit ENTER. Then select "Y" or ENTER to every option that comes up. If any of these seem unnecessarily long, then that's where the problem lies. Once identified, search for the file(in Find Files and Folders) and then delete. Then reboot. On Tuesday, April 25, 2006 at 3:10 pm, Jeri wrote: >The pc I am working with now has WIN98SE plus on it.
