Computer Freezes On Start-Up (help)!
Can anyone pls help with this problem?
W98 PIII 500Mhz
I changed a CD to a CD writer and then loaded the Nero software but instead of allowing the computer to restart someone pressed the reset button on the computer ( don't ask!). Now the computer boots to the point when the icons appear and the clock but it will go no further (the egg timer is now on all the time and the processor is inactive). Cont-alt-del gives no clues. Safe mode gives access but I don't know what to do now.
I have disabled the CD but the same happens
I have removed the Nero software ..no change
I was going to reload Nero or W98 over the existing files but in safe mode the CD is disabled.
The last thing I want to do is reformat (even if I knew how) as there are years of info and photos on the hard drive.
Thanks in advance for any replies and I am sitting in front of my own computer watching for a response...
