1. How did you determine the P8700 would be compatible? Your laptop is based on the Intel GL40 Express Chipset which only supports up to 800MHz FSB. The P8700 is a 1066MHz FSB CPU. So even if it was compatible (which it's not), it would only run at 1.9GHz."Socket 479 and Socket P have both supported twRead more

    “Socket 479 and Socket P have both supported two generations of Intel mobile processors, with the later generation having a higher front side bus. In both cases, the later generation of processor will not work with the previous generation of chipset: almost always, a 533MHz FSB Pentium M will not work with a 400MHz FSB chipset and a 1066MHz Core 2 Duo will not work with an 800MHz FSB chipset. 400MHz FSB Pentium M processors work in 533MHz FSB chipsets, but there is no confirmation that 533MHz to 800MHz FSB Core 2 Duo processors will work in 1066MHz chipsets.”

  2. Let me explain what I see. First of all, it looks like Windows was reinstalled a second time without a format or without creating a new partition. Hence the windows.000 directory. That may or may not be part of your problem. Secondly, you are are using Norton. I'm not a fan of Symantec products butRead more

    Let me explain what I see. First of all, it looks like Windows was reinstalled a second time without a format or without creating a new partition. Hence the windows.000 directory. That may or may not be part of your problem. Secondly, you are are using Norton. I’m not a fan of Symantec products but it’s up to you , if you want to keep it or not. The following entry also could be part of the problem.

    O4 – HKUS\S-1-5-21-329068152-1123561945-725345543-1007\..\Run: [Symantec NetDriver Warning] C:\PROGRA~1\SYMNET~1\SNDWarn.exe (User ‘UpdatusUser’)
    ________________________

    F2 – REG:system.ini: UserInit=C:\WINDOWS.000\system32\userinit.exe,qhmqrax.exe,

    That ^^ has to be deleted no matter what you do.
    _______________________

    O20 – Winlogon Notify: AeDebug – C:\WINDOWS.000\system32\KtdakOneTouch.dll (file missing)

    Delete that ^^ too. I can’t find anything about it.

    O4 – HKUS\S-1-5-21-329068152-1123561945-725345543-1007\..\Run: [Symantec NetDriver Warning] C:\PROGRA~1\SYMNET~1\SNDWarn.exe (User ‘UpdatusUser’)

    That ^^ could be part of what’s giving you that error message. As I said, it’s up to you if you want to continue with Symantec products.

    O4 – HKUS\S-1-5-21-329068152-1123561945-725345543-1007\..\RunOnce: [RunNarrator] Narrator.exe (User ‘UpdatusUser’)

    I get suspicious of anything in the Run Once folder. I would delete that too.

    Also, I’m not a fan of toolbars. Once again, it’s up to you if you want to keep them or not but they are not secure.

    How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

  3. It's actually the "colour depth" you can't change, not the contrast, and that's because the correct driver is missing or hasn't yet been installed. The Standard PCI Graphics Adapter simply indicates that Windows is having to use it's own basic driver which is limited to low resolution and low colourRead more

    It’s actually the “colour depth” you can’t change, not the contrast, and that’s because the correct driver is missing or hasn’t yet been installed. The Standard PCI Graphics Adapter simply indicates that Windows is having to use it’s own basic driver which is limited to low resolution and low colour-depth.

    If your computer is factory-built or it’s a laptop, the correct driver will be on that computer manufacturer’s website. You’ll need to know the model name and/or model number of the computer.

    As Windows 98SE is now a very old Windows version, you may find that your PC model is no longer listed on their website, but go there and have a look.

  4. Press and hold the power button until it shuts down, usually 10 seconds or less does this.

Then restart but boot to Safe Mode (check your manual or online manual for details on the key to hold down while starting) and do a system restore again from there choosing an earlier date. If that does not work, do a factory restore from the hidden recovery partition (again check manual).

  5. One option in the advanced boot options (F8 at start up) should be "Last Good Configuration", if it is then take that option and it should be the first basic fix to get it to start up.

    One option in the advanced boot options (F8 at start up) should be “Last Good Configuration”, if it is then take that option and it should be the first basic fix to get it to start up. If it starts but does not fully load or still takes too long then try again and take the Safe Mode option and run the three programs under Safe Mode as recommended in reply #4. Save the logs from the results (Copy Paste into Word or other program for now) and reboot into normal mode. Then copy paste the results from those logs into a reply here so they can be reviewed to see if there is more you will need to do.
