ok, so i found this windows 98 computer in my basement. the cdrom drive doesnt work, but still starts up.
ive been getting errors on boot that say:
A device has been specified more than once in the SYSTEM.INI file, or a device specified in SYSTEM.INI conflicts with a device which is being loaded by an MS-DOS device driver or application or a device loaded from the registry file. remove the duplicate entry from the SYSTEM.INI file, and then restart windows.
duplicate device: vcd.
press any key to continue.
press a key:
"windows protection error. You need to restart your computer.
and that's it.
or if i try and boot in safe mode, it says:
While initializing device IOS:
Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer.
Press any key to continue.
and then it shuts down, any ideas? thanks!

You have two options you have to get in and edit your system.ini and remove the duplicat item or if you have the 98 disk reload the operating system and that will take care of the problem.

Old school way to do a windows repair was to install 98 over the existing installation.
