Can you boot to Safe mode? If so, open Explorer and go to the
c:\windows\system\iosubsys folder and move this file to another location.
To do this, you can right-click and choose Cut, then right-click on another
folder and choose paste, or you can use drag n drop.

Once you have done this exit and restart. If you get an error message about
the system not being able to find this file, then run Regedit. Go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD. Find smartvsd.vxd
on the list and delete it.

There are several failures in the bootlog that are normal. See this
article:

This removed the error for the Smartvsd.vxd but I still can't complete the
boot process. It hangs in the same place every time. I have run Registry
Mechanic, RegClean, Registry Checker and none find any errors. Any ideas
where I should look next

You might take a look at this article:

Troubleshooting Windows 98 Startup Problems
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=188867

If that doesn't help you fix it, you might think about installing to a new
folder. See this article:

How to Install Windows 98 Into a New Folder
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=193902

If you decide to try installing over the current installation as a
troubleshooting step, be sure to uninstall Internet Explorer first. You want
to get back to the version that shipped with your version of Windows. Do
this from Control Panel, Add/remove programs. When you are back to the
original version, it will no longer show up here as available to uninstall.

Installing Windows over a version with an updated Internet Explorer will
result in mismatched files and your Internet access will be broken until you
install the version that you had upgraded to or a newer version than that.

Thanks for the help Patty. After 5 days of troubleshooting I bought a much
larger hard drive, removed the old drive and switched to XP and reinstalled
the old drive and picked off the files I wanted to keep. It will now get
reformated and placed in an older computer my daughter uses for word
processing.
Again, thanks for the help.
