i'm a complete novice so you've been warned ! any way my problem is that when i turn on my computer (not this one) it loads up to the screen recommending me to load up windows 98 in safe mode. press ok. windows 98 screen fashes up then my screen turns black and says :

"file is either not present or has a invalid number :
vmm.vxd, shell.vxd, vtd.vxd, vxdldr.vxd, vpicd.vxd or vwin32.vxd"

i can't do anything. goes stright to the "safe to turn off computer" screen. any ideas how to fix it, if you can help give it to me as simple as possible, i really no nothing !!

cheers
