A friend's computer worked last night they were online & everything. Today they wnet to start it & when opened normally it shows the windows logo & then goes to a black screen with a slash in the right upper hand corner. When tried Safe mode it gets to the opening screen of YOU ARE IN SAFE MODE & then it says error. - Internet explorer-needs to close now. Then it freezes on a really weird picture. Does anyone know what to do or why its happening? Thanks in advance for any answers..

pop in the OS disk and hit repair ahh how i missed the dreaded blue screen of death on the old windows.. good times.... any of you remember that..... lol
but I had the same problem with my old computer as well but it booted fine i know what you you mean by the funky distorted background in boot up and the IE failed to run and has to restart tell me does this image of the picture you see look like pixelated colored squares on the screen like you use to get when you started that good ol' NES haha
well does it do it all the time?
then
a. it's a harddrive failure.
or
b. virus.
a=replace harddrive.
b=stick that 98' disk in and choose system repair.

Boot your computer with a bootable Windows 98 CD in the CD drive. Choose the Repair option when you are presented with the choices. Proceed to repair your installation of Windows.
