I just tried to fix an old windows 98 computer and the things screwed up. Safe mode is completely deactivated meaning it cannot be used. I got in the boot menu but it just gives stuff like floppy disk and cd rom options. Nothing to useful there. It's a very cheap acer computer. It's got deep freeze on it so the problem is there next time it goes on. It sometimes makes it to doskey installed and rarely it gets to log on. It has furthest gotten to just after log on but it gives an illegal operation error and the only thing that works is going to detail and when you go to the botton bsod. The computer is completely frozen at bsod and it has to be shut down. I can't get anywhere with it. It has a kernal 32.dll error according to the illegal operation screen. Often when it goes to bsod it has darker blue lines going across the screen.
