Earlier today when I clicked on a link in Internet Explorer, the
computer locked up. After hitting control/alt/delete several times I finally
got the box that allows you to end task or shutdown. Then the machine
started to reboot, but seemed to hang during startup, the screen only showed
a flashing cursor in upper left corner of screen for what seemed like an
eternity, then finally came up. Since then, all seems to work fine except
the same thing happens every time machine is resarted.
I tried opening in Safe Mode, which I finally was able to. Ran ScanDisk,
Disk Defrag, no change. All other functions seems normal, but the restart
time is probably five times as long as it used to be, so something must be
wrong. Someone suggested I try removing, then reinstalling the battery
inside the computer, but I hesitate to do anything for fear of making
problem worse!!
OS is Win 98 SE, machine is Compac Presario 7599, 750mhz, 256 MB ram
Thanks for any help or info, Todd Mcd
