Have yoy tried doing an over-istall of Win98se. The Install routine shouldn't mess with your X stuff and might fix the boot-hang-thing. I don't know anything about laptops (don't have one) but in my desktop stuff that usually fixed a host of problems. Anything from Outlook Express not working or even loading to the browser not doing a damn thing after it loaded. It can also fix alot of startup problems.

Hi guys, I recently installed Linux Mandrake 9.0 in my system, as a dual OS with Windows 98 SE, in the same hard drive, different partitions. The problem I'm having is that after I reboot my system directly from Mandrake and into Windows, it stops loading at the logo. I have to power off my computer, then power it back on in order for windows to load up properly. Does anyone know why this is happenning? and what's more important, :) how this can be fixed? Thanks in advance, Francisco Sambade P.S: I'm running a Sony Vaio PCG-520 laptop with Pentium III 500MHZ, 192 megs ram MSN 8 helps ELIMINATE E-MAIL VIRUSES. Get 2 months FREE*.
