I'm running Windows 98, and not very good at it, apparently.
I recently installed a new CD-R drive. When restarting my computer, it booted up and remained in Windows startup mode indefinetly. After about 10 minutes, I ctrl-alt deleted, and restarted. It then went into safe mode. I used ScanDisc basic (no problems) and I looked into the device manager and removed the driver for my old CD-R drive. I then restarted and it remained in Windows startup mode indefinetly again. After another shut down and start up, it went back into safe mode. I ran ScanDisc again, but in thurough mode. After about 1/2 hour, it's still scanning the disc. It said it had to restart 10 times because I had other Windows programs open. I closed the "system" folder and Scanned it again.
It was about then that I decided to post something to TechGuy.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
