Anthony,
Good to hear you managed to work this out. I went into my W98's msconfig,
and found the same setting for "Disable Scandisk after bad shutdown". That
box was already checked, I guess because I'd manually set the value in my
msdos.sys file.
BUT REMEMBER! This is not really a fix for your problem, because now,
ScanDisk will NEVER run after a crash. ScanDisk NEEDS to be run after most
crashes in order to straighten out a lot of operating system problems that
will just build up and make your system run worse and worse with time.
If you never find out how to get your system to run ScanDisk automatically
and correctly ONLY after a crash, and not every time you reboot....
remember to run ScanDisk manually after every crash. I put an icon for
ScanDisk right on my desktop (right click the desktop, choose "New" and then
choose "Shortcut" from the next menu and browse to C:\Windows\Scandskw.exe.
The filename in ME might be slightly different). After rebooting from a
crash, it's convenient to have the icon right there.
Matt
