ruthan Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hello, because Win98SE is not stable OS, especially when you are using it for gaming when, doesnt exist some some universal videocards / drivers solution - so there are crashes.. im often aften crash booting into safe mode, but i dont want, because there is really nothing to solve.. and it broke some explorer settings (show full path in Explorer Title bar for example), it often also mess with icons etc.. I would like to force normal boot everytime, unless i manualy setup Safe mode from boot options (i edited msdos.sys to show this menu everytime), its possible to do it?

loblo Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Showing the menu every time is the best you can do I think, my boot is configured like that too. I've put a 5 second delay so I have ample time to intercept it if I need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthan Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Thanks, but its for example installing something remotely through VNC.. its really annoying have to go to machine directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Write-protect the registry, or restore a good one at boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodmaneuver Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It might be RAM not working properly, try System Monitor on Memory Manager : Page Faults. Expect some but not thousands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyShadow Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Use a boot manager that can inject key-presses after booting. I use XOSL and it "pushes" F8 when booting Win98 :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodmaneuver Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Registry changes occur after a normal successful shut down but not on a crash. If the setting like show full path in title bar was just done then it would be lost in the crash. Try just having full path in address bar just in-case there is a problem with the full path in the title bar when being accessed by another operation system as not all the old settings are compatible any more. The full path in the title bar may not be able to be reproduced on the modern operating system. Win10 is OK but make sure both the machine accessing via the the VCN has the same view settings as the 98 machine just in case.

SweetLow Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) MSDOS.SYS->[Options] AutoScan=0 BootWarn=0 DisableLog=1 SystemReg=0 Booting without ANY questions into normal mode no matter what happened before.
