... When I first turn on the computer and it is loading up, there is a black screen which stays up for a couple of seconds. This screen in the middle has a statement "Bad Command or file name". How can I get rid of that? I think it is related to scan-disk. Whenever I run Disk Cleanup, it says scanning Old Scan disk in the root folder? This is a DOS error message (thus is not related to any Windows app) probably caused by your AUTOEXEC.BAT. But Win98 does not need AUTOEXEC.BAT. (Win95 did, so it remains available in Win98.) The simplest cure is to rename AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS and reboot. Perhaps you need neither. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
