You can look in the C:\WINDOWS folder and see if there is a backup file ( .bak, .000, something else ), usually a couple of K in size. DO NOT mess with the SYSTEM.DAT file

You should try <br />
<br />
A registry restore:<br />
<br />
Bootup with a startup floppy disk and at the A:\&gt; prompt type<br />
<br />
C: (press enter)<br />
<br />
Now type:<br />
<br />
cd windows\command (press enter)<br />
<br />
Your prompt should read C:\Windows\Command, correct?<br />
<br />
Now type:<br />
<br />
scanreg /restore (space between g and /)<br />
<br />
Press enter, select a date PRIOR to the problem, press enter, wait for the process to finish and reboot WITHOUT the disk.<br />
<br />
If you don’t have a startup disk, download one from <a href="http://www.bootdisk.com" rel="ugc">www.bootdisk.com</a>.<br />
<br />
Any luck?<br />

You should try

A registry restore:

Bootup with a startup floppy disk and at the A:\> prompt type

C: (press enter)

Now type:

cd windows\command (press enter)

Your prompt should read C:\Windows\Command, correct?

Now type:

scanreg /restore (space between g and /)

Press enter, select a date PRIOR to the problem, press enter, wait for the process to finish and reboot WITHOUT the disk.

If you don’t have a startup disk, download one from www.bootdisk.com [http://www.bootdisk.com].

Any luck?

Hello<br />
<br />
<br />
I installed Norton Antivirus on my Mum's old 386/486<br />
Windows 98 SE has been working fine, however after installing and uninstalling Norton Antivirus the computer cannot boot up correctly in Normal mode.<br />
System.ini file is missing<br />
We have not got the Windows 98 SE CD anymore.<br />
The computer boots up in safe mode<br />
What can I do to get it working in Normal mode?<br />
Can I download that missing file (On its own) from anywhere?<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
<br />
Gary.
