Any ideas?

You might try using the repair functions in TweakUI.

Hog sill got the prob ???

You can do this, It restores a good previous bootup

Bootup
Get into pure dos (hold F8 usually, then command prompt only)
Type.... scanreg/restore

This will show all the previously saved boots, Choose a day b4 windose buggered up then follow prompts, It will boot pc with the bootup you chose

I had same thing happen to me twice with windose 98
So far on windose 98se all's ok so far

Hope this helps

Have Fun

methinks someone pulled ye o'le

take pic of desktop, set it as wallpaper, increase resolution to max, put all icons on upper left corner, return resolution to previous setting

stunt.

I feel for you
