here is a log of a successful boot to compair it againts Bootlog.txt

ok did what you suggested hit uninstall when it finished and asked if id like to reboot i said no and then restarted manualy i then hit f8 and logged boot then when it wouldnt reboot normaly i booted in safe mode and moved the boot log to the desktop reinstalled the servace pack so i could boot normaly then restarted here is the log Bootlog.txt

thats the problem i cant uninstall it becaues after i uninstall the computer wont reboot to finish the uninstall see i hit uninstall the computer does its thing asks to reboot but then i cant get any further coz the comp keeps restarting its self and i can only get in to safe mode

here is the log

where do you want me to send it ?

hi let me try to explain what happens is uninstall the service pack once done the computer asks to reboot I say yes the computer shuts down windows and begins to reboot this is where the problems start boot process begins then for no reason at all the compute automatically restarts it self I then get an error telling me the computer failed to start up correctly and I'm presented with the dos menu where I can select safe mode normal logged etc I select normal and again the reboot begins and again the computer restart it self and I end up back at the dos menu and the only way I can get back in to windows is to boot in safe mode The only way to stop it from restarting its self during boot up so the computer will start up normally is to reinstall the service pack as you can imagine thats rather frustrating

this isnt the problem see iv tryed the patch in the servace pack and off windows update both the first and second versions lockup my system im wondering if its somthing to do with firefox coz i say a note some where round this forum not to use this patch if your using firefox opera or myie the question is why ? also as to the uninstall prob i had a read round and saw a few posts mentioning the problem was to do with gdi.exe and gdi32.dll so after i tryed uninstall i tryed replacing these with the oridionals from the 98 disk using the system file checker file replace funtion and rebooted no joy so i think my uninstall trouble is a new problem the question is what ? oviously the servace pack isnt restoring somthing correctley on uninstall but im not sure how i find out what it is that is braking the uninstall routies could it be somthing to do with 98 lite ?? im using the chubby install

hi all just updated to service pack 2 and after rebooting my system locked up as soon as it got to the desk top because of patch kb981711 I know that M$ say they have fixed this but they obviously haven't done a proper job of it because its still locking up my system I had to do a hard shut down and then reboot in safe mode and remove this patch before I could get my comp to boot properly so I think you may want to look at this see if you can work out what's wrong either that or remove it altogether also the uninstall routine still isn't working right when i try to uninstall my computer wont boot normally it will only boot to safe mode finily the removel funtion for tweak ui dosnt work either i tryed to remove it and cant is there any way to find out whats going wrong and way some sort of logging funtion or somthing ??

hi and i do this how ?? well oviously i need the files but im not sure how i actualy switch them becaues oviously i cant do it while windows is up and running coz the files are in use so what do i need to do ?

hi well if my experance is anthing to go by then this bug is still alive and kicking and someone needs to go back and double check that its been correctley fixed becaues right now i cant uninstall the rc servace pack with out the prob i decribed above mabe its just freak accorence on my comp i dont know but i with some one could give me a definitive answer one way or another how to get round this prefairable with out reinstalling windows

hi my problem is that i install the software that comes with the pad but when i plug in the joypad insted of it detecting the software and setting the pad up correcty it wont it keeps setting it up as some unknowen usb device and when i try pointin the setup process to the *.inf file installed by the software it just says that it dosnt contain any info about the hardware device i have tryed every trick in the book to get this working and its starting to anoy me becaue all that pad is good for right now is being used as a paper weight you any idea why this isnt working ? what im doing wrong ??

hi all any one know what i cant install my sidewinder game pad ? i install the software plugin the joypad but thre comp wont set it up right and it just keeps apearing in the device manager as an unknowen device i tryed asking M$ but all i got back from them was there usual buracratic **** saying that it was a unsupported product so there not goin to make may attemp to help me its a usb pad and im running 98selite

hi all i was wondering if anyone knows how i can shell switch 98se explorer for the on in say 2000 becaues 98 one is buggie and is for ever crashing and taking out my system dispite the fact that im using the patched version the comes with the 98se servace pack also does anyone know of an app that is similuer to the 98 to me app that can update verious files on my system with newer versions with out the need to have a me disk ??

hi all been using the 98 servace pack for quite some time with out a hitch but when i decovered there was a newer version i decided that id like to try it so i installed the new one to have a look but afterwards i decided to go back to 1.6.2 as the current version is unfinished so i went to uninstall the pack from my comp but thats where my problems started after uninstall i was unable to reboot my comp every time i tryed it would only boot in safe mode i couldnt even get in to windows using my boot disk the only way i could get back in to windows what to reiunstall the servace pack from safe mode this to me seems like a very serious bug that i think needs some attention so i reged here so i could inform you about it
