well i used the "MSCONFIG", went to start up and there was nothing out of the ordinary. However when i went to autoexec is it? I found those modification things. I unticked them so they are no longer used when the system is running, and now its working fine which is good enough for me. Thanks for your help.

Right, i haven't got a windows 98 installation floppy disc, do you know of any sites which let you download it?

Sorry I haven't replied, my internet has been playing up since sunday. Erm, i have not yet installed avast so i cant see that being the problem. And Lone Crusader, I will have a look for those things tommorrow

Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me. Recently i was sorting out a family members computer, who has windows 98. They haven't really used it because it was so slow, so i offered to make it faster, and also install new antivirus software. Now, as they still have dialup (i know still!) i had to go get the installation files from my computer (was gonna use an older version of Avast). However, when i put in the cd, it appeared with "Device is Not ready" I decided to use the cd drivers floppy disc to reinstall, however there were 2, so i tried both, neither worked. Now heres the problem, for some reason whenever i try to click on my computer, the computer freezes. It seems as if any program freezes after a minute or two, but i have no idea why. I have noticed on the start up, some code somes up "MODIFCATION BEGIN" comes up with a CD Drive code, and then "END", then again modifcation begin with a different code. I am wondering if theres a solution to the problem? I am planning to try a system restore through the MS-DOS tommorrow, but if anyone has any Plan B's i could try i would be grateful!
