mode when i turn it on

The F5 key pressed at boot leads to Safe Mode. To see whether it is
sticky, open Explorer, where F5 now means "Refresh". Does the screen
constantly blink? (Well, I guess that would happen on the Desktop too.)

There is a branch entitled "Now that I've installed my program, Windows
98 starts only in Safe mode." at "START, Help, Contents,
Troubleshooting, Windows 98 Troubleshooters, DirectX section". (If you
encounter blank Help screens there, then...
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q188867
Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems. This article contains a
link to what it says is the equivalent of the Windows Help
Troubleshooters...
http://support.microsoft.com/support/windows/tshoot
That's it.)

W98 Defaults to Safe Mode
It says, delete "Wnbootng.sts", if you have it.

"START, FIND, F/F, Wnbootng.sts". (Should be in C:\Windows.)
R-Clk it, & select "Delete"

Always Starts in Safe Mode

Here is a way to edit MSDOS.sys. This is an important file.

(1) You won't even see it, unless "START, Settings, Folder Options, View
tab" is bolted "Show all files"; may as well uncheck "Hide file
extensions..." too.
(2) Find "C:\MSDOS.sys" and back it up. Call the backup MSDOS.bck, in
C:\.
(3) Then, R-Clk "C:\MSDOS.sys", Properties, and uncheck Read-Only.

(4) Open it in Notepad, delete the "BootSafe=1", or change it to "=0",
save it, & quit Notepad.

(5) Then, R-Clk MSDOS.sys again, and make it Read-Only. Reboot.
(6) Can't reboot? Then, in DOS, copy the backup over the one you've
mussed.
(a) ATTRIB -R -S -H C:\MSDOS.sys
(b) COPY C:\MSDOS.bck C:\MSDOS.sys
(c) ATTRIB +R +S +H C:\MSDOS.sys

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
