Windows 98SE

Lately my computer has been running SO SLOW!!! Every time i shut down, an error message comes up, blue screen of death, it says "a fatal exception 06 has occured at 0000:000099E8" or everything but the background disappears, and the system locks up. anyway, i'm forced to shut down the wrong way, and it's been going on for about four months now, just now got around to asking.

i have a NIC card on my computer for my DSL modem, i'm not on a network. every time i start up, i have to go through the network login, i click cancel, but this is annoying. is there a way to bypass this?

To change the network login, go to Network in Control Panel and change Client for MS windows to "Windows Logon". I'll work on your error code a bit.

IT'S NOT WORKING!!! every time I start it up (Except for once), it goes to that scandisk thingy, not to the startup menu. the one time i DID get to where i wanted to go, there was no Vshield.exe to "rem." Also, **there are a lot of blank lines in the startup menu, is this OK?** I use Norton, what would the line for norton be?

i think my trouble getting to the startup menu is from not shutting down properly, but that is the trouble i'm trying to fix! what a vicious circle! is there a way around this? something i could do in windows?

Have you tried to boot up in safe mode to muck around on the problem? Hit F8 at startup for the option.

I was thinking and reading the link panama posted, it says, under cause 'an earlier version is being loaded' so's i go's on to norton.com and D/L all the upgrades available. maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. hopefully it will

I want to know how to bypass that login window for the network completely. i want to hit the power button and it'll go straight to the desktop. how can i do this? I'm not on a network, as i said, the NIC is for DSL modem usage.

is setting up the software for a DSL router hard? i don't know what the heck half of these vocabulary words are, keystone, router, etc WHAT ARE THESE WORDS!!!

Go to control panel/network and change your login from Microsoft Client to Windows Login and you won't have the login request anymore.
