FantasyAcquiesce Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Does anyone know of a solution to this issue? My Dell Latitude D600 lacks a ps2 port for any ps2 mice which results in system hang if I forget to unplug my usb mouse. Tested with both Windows 98SE and ME. What causes this to happen?

Tommy Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 This sounds stupid, but dis it attempting to "boot" from any usb devices? I know if I leave a flashdrive in my one computers, it hangs. I didn't play with the BIOS but I'm sure that's what the issue is there. But I'd think the simplest thing would be to check that it's not attempting to boot from something. I don't see why it would, but sometimes technology is funny that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe so, this is a very common issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dencorso Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I do. What USB related options do the BIOS offer, and how are they set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamTron Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Where does it hang? Does it get past POST and hang during the Windows 98 splash screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't used my Windows ME for a few weeks Windows 98SE - Hangs at DOS screen, claiming to boot to windows 98; doesn't reach splash screen. Windows ME - Hangs at the Windows ME screen. The loading bar still moves, but it does not ever boot to windows and stays stuck on the splash screen. On 7/4/2016 at 4:41 PM, dencorso said: I do.

I believe my Dell Latitude D600 isn't set to boot from USB, maybe I'll check soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
