I`m familiar with Windows 95/98/XP problems and will try my best to assist you. I`m also familiar with spyware/virus removal, Web Design, Basic PC Networking, formatting & partitioning hard drives, installing new hard drives or memory (ram), and other little things.

Experience
I started using computers about 10 years ago and have grown to both love and hate it to say the least. I have studied computer programming and graduated with a bachelor's degree in computer science.

Subject: Reloading Windows 98SE

Question
I have a Gateway 850 desktop pc that I am reloading Windows 98SE from the original System Restoration disk.  I formatted the harddrive and then reinstalled Windows 98SE.  It went through the install and then it just sits at the C:\ prompt.  I rebooted it, and it went through the normal boot up process including showing the Windows screen for only a couple of seconds and then went to the C:\ prompt.  I can't get into Windows.  Any ideas?

Answer
Hi Toni, were there any issues encountered during the restoration process?

Type in the word win and hit ENTER to see if it boots into Windows.

Kevin.
