re: can only boot in safe mode Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 2:31 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Suzanne Lanoue (13 messages posted) I think it might have something to do with the modem or wireless card. It has some sort of internal modem I haven't used for years, and it also has a wireless card that someone installed for me years ago. Someone on another board said that the specific VXD error I am getting is probably that. I know it took a while for the guy to set it up right with Windows 98, the old pc, and the wireless card, so he had to figure out how to do it so it would work... Let me ask you, if I remove what is listed under modem, and it turns out that is the wireless card, will it re-add it in? I am not sure what kind it is or where the drivers are, so that's why I'm asking. Or would the wireless card be listed under something else? I went into Device Manager and see three different types of modem listed, one is under "modem"; it says MDP3900V-U Modem. one is under HFC MODEM; it says MDP3900 PCI Modem Enumerator. and the other is under Alcatel Speed Touch Modem; it says Alcatel Speed Touch ADSL Modem. The alcatel is our old DSL modem that it connected to wirelessly (we use a different one now, but I was told I didn't need to install anything special on the computers that connect with wireless, it worked fine until now). Help! I might take it in tomorrow to the shop, it is still crashing whenever I run anything. I would like to fix it myself instead, of course, but kind of out of time.   Suzanne Written in response to: re: can only boot in safe mode (Ed: Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 9:38 am) Responses to this message: re: can only boot in safe mode (gewg_: Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 4:36 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Ed: Friday, July 30, 2010 at 9:15 pm) All messages in this thread [show all] can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 1:05 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (gewg_: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 2:31 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (Suzanne Lanoue: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 2:51 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (gewg_: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 4:16 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (Suzanne Lanoue: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 5:09 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (Arminius: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 5:29 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (Suzanne Lanoue: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 8:17 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Lots of BSODs) (gewg_: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 6:38 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Fri, Jul 23, 2010, 9:07 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (gewg_: Sat, Jul 24, 2010, 1:15 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Sat, Jul 24, 2010, 2:25 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (gewg_: Sat, Jul 24, 2010, 4:36 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Sat, Jul 24, 2010, 5:05 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Arminius: Sat, Jul 24, 2010, 7:04 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Sat, Jul 24, 2010, 8:25 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Ed: Thu, Jul 29, 2010, 9:38 am) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Thu, Jul 29, 2010, 2:31 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (gewg_: Thu, Jul 29, 2010, 4:36 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Thu, Jul 29, 2010, 5:30 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (gewg_: Thu, Jul 29, 2010, 9:25 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Ed: Fri, Jul 30, 2010, 9:15 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (gewg_: Sat, Jul 31, 2010, 1:37 pm) re: can only boot in safe mode (Suzanne Lanoue: Sat, Jul 31, 2010, 2:47 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 98 Discussion Forum
