Windows 98SE Boot Thursday, March 26, 2009 at 10:45 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jeri (1 messages posted) I purchased a used Gateway Computer with AMD Athlon & Windows 98SE . Upon attempting to check the system out I can only get as far as the Gateway Logo screen. The system then sends me to a screen which has the following on it: Missing or Corrupt File, WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM Attempt to repair by starting windows setup, using "original" setup CDROM. Well, hence the problem, I am not the original owner. It seems to me that the prior owner just removed their copy of the software, am I correct in assuming this? Can I just install the copy I have from my children's computer? I can get into the BIOS screen, which provides me with the following: Total Memory:384MB,BIOS Version 0AASNP05, Processor Speed 750Mhz, Cache 256K, then some info about BANK, 0,DIMM,SDRAM, NON ECC. However, I cannot get the darn thing to accept any other Windows CD. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
