My friend and I just got BF1942 last night. I installed it and we had a grand ol' time playing all night. Well I left my computer over at his house and came over today. Now when I boot it up, it says "Starting Windows 98" and a few other things. The last thing it says is about loading diskeeper, then a "C:\", and it just stays there. No command prompt, it just hangs. This is not good. I need my computer for school. :( Anyone have an idea wtf is wrong?
 
Hav you tried booting into safe mode?

(f8 during start-up, select safe mode from menu options).

I select Safe Mode, and it says "HIMEM is testing extended memory...done." And then nothing. :(
 
you could try running scan disk from the 98 cd, but its probably gonna need a reinstall. Could just be a fluke win blowout, or could be failing hardware.
 
Also, I completely forgot how to make a startup disk with CDROM drivers on it. I used My Computer to make one on my friend's computer, but when I start up using it, I can't bring up my D: drive.
 
you don't need to make a floppy start up disk

just go into your bios, set your boot order for the cdrom as the first device, then insert your windows 98 cd, it should boot from the cd
 
from my past experiences that sounds like a scan disc fix. if u can't run it from u'r computer stick the drive in another and run scandisc from that one.
