OK...Here's a problem that I have asked many people yet can not find a solution for. I have a Windows 98 desktop with a PII-450 and 64MB of RAM from way back in 1998. The computer worked fine, excluding the fan sometimes coming loose and causing moderate overheating problems. Now, it has refused to boot when drivers are enabled. At first, it would just freeze, no questions asked after loading a few programs in normal mode. In safe mode, it would display the "welcome to safe mode message box" and when OK is pressed, Explorer would crash, causing safe mode to restart with the message box. This continues in an infinite loop. I ran Norton SystemWorks 2001 from DOS and it discovered that I had three cross-linked files/folders: C:\scandisk.log, C:\Windows\Temp\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE4\J
(Sorry for the long message, this is a complex one.)

Edit: I just wanted to mention that I have 325 files on the root of C:. I've heard this could cause problems, but I dobut that going over the limit alone could cause all these troubles. But, just in case, I wanted to mention that.

Thanks for actually reading this. ;-P
