BOOTING WINDOWS 98
Win98 changes the way you boot your system directly to an MS-DOS command prompt. Instead of waiting for the Starting Windows screen and then pressing F8 (like you did under Win95), just hold down the Ctrl key when you first see any text on the screen during boot. You'll be offered the usual options (Safe Mode, Command Prompt Only and so on). Pressing F8 still works, but Win98 doesn't include a Starting Windows 98 prompt, so it's hard to know when to press the key. (Note: If you receive a keyboard error during your system tests, try holding down the Ctrl key after the keyboard test.)
