more info please (like which operating system, when does it give you that message - is that exact message? - PC spec, have you changed any hardware/software, had major crash, virus, any other unusual event before this started (presuming it hasn't always been like this).

What does device manager say?

Any messages in system properties (like using ms-dos compatibility mode)?

Can you read from CD if boot from win98 boot floppy (with CD support)? -

http://www.bootdisk.com

if you haven't got one.

You might be better off posting in forum615 (win95/8), as this is likely an operating system problem (and my 98 skills are very rusty!)
