My son (5th grader) is using Win98 on a HP box with AMD 433.
Seems he has screwed up setting downloading something from internet.
Whenever I boot the PC it hangs with a Blue screen. I could not start this in even safe mode. I tried to boot it with Windows Startup Disk but always to a command prompt. Even when I choose Safe Mode. From command mode I tried to run the windows in the safe mode by
c:\windows> win /d:m
The error it get is HIMEM.SYS notfound in default directory.
I have check that HIMEM.SYS and EMM386.EXE etc are present.
I have also tried to put the following lines in MSDOS.SYS file
bootSafe=0
bootwin=1
but no help.
Any leads is highly appreciated.
