Do that, yes - http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/startup.htm covers the
startup process, so you can see where it's going wrong.

>if not then i would like to put 98 on

Waste of time unless you've excluded hardware problems first - which
are a likely possibility with PCs of this age (fans, HDs, PSUs, RAM,
dust effects, flat CMOS batteries, etc.)

See http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/bthink.htm

Running Windows-based av to kill active malware is like striking
a match to see if what you are standing in is water or petrol.
