Memory is ram so uninstalling programs would not fix whatever the problem

Here's an article about how to get into the system and another about a possible cause of the shutdown: Recovering From a Failed Internet Explorer Upgrade in Windows 98 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;249191 Windows 95/98 Boots Directly to "Shut Down" Screen http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=141898 -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo " wrote in message ...
