This happens, of course, when Windows does not shut down properly durng the
previous shut-down.
Do you see errors when you shut down? Does your CPU power itself off at the
end of the shutdown, or do you have to press and hold the power button to
get it to turn off?
A worm can resist the shut down process and leave the system 'hung'. Do you
think this is happening?
A clean install of Win98SE should solve any problems, but first try cleaning
up any unnecessary software that is loaded when you boot up each day
(msconfig). If you use McAfee or Norton, you might want to try removing and
reinstalling this as well.

Subject: [CGUYS] win98 se?
During the boot process, it stops for it's ceremonial countdown period at
the Safe Mode screen and resumes the boot up fine. It stops at this screen
every time without pressing CTRL or any other key.
It didn't do this when I had it but it started when I gave it to a friend.
Does anyone know how to omit this screen from the bootup process?
