OK, have the thing running now. I tried pressing f8 on/off as the machine started and went through the first stage ie memory check - no effect. It then tried starting from CD (fail of course) end then showed the Win 98 Start Up Menu. If I select option 1 (normal) then it will default to Safe Mode telling me that Windows did not load correctly last time.

It then does the HiMem check (OK) then gives me a window saying that in Safe Mode I can "fix" the fault if I check the hardware/ network settings are ok in Control panel.

Sounds easy but does not mean a lot to me.
