Greetings all and welcome to my first post
I have a problem with a laptop that I bought for my littlun for Xmas. Its a Toshiba Sattelite. No bells and whistles but it works and its a great little puter to get her started on.
Anyway, when I first got it (S/H) it had Win 98 loaded on it. I decided to wipe the OS and go for a fresh install. This is when my troubles began :roll:
I installed Windows 98 and all was going well until the restart. When going through the final set up motions it hangs and does absolutely nothing, regardless of how long you leave it. This always happens when you enter the selection in keyboard manager. I choose the UK option, click ok and it hangs indefinately :?
What you get is an error prompt which is partially obscured by another window over that saying "Please wait while Windows installs the software"
The error message is partially covered by the other window but from what I can read it seems to be asking for another disc? :?
Ive tried to run this both with the disc in and also with the disc out.
I can run the PC in safe mode without any trouble but to get it to complete the install and run normally atm is completely impossible.
Any takers?
Cheers
