Install on Windows 98 SE = Hang on boot? about dotnet9x HOT 4 CLOSED

Not sure why this would happen, I'm not aware of any changes .NET makes to the boot process. Stab in the dark - you could try deleting the ndphlpr.vxd from C:\Windows\System in case that's the culprit? Currently I don't think my installer makes an uninstaller, probably something that should be added at some point

Wow, thanks for the quick reply! Today's video was great.

Just tried that, no luck. However, I just tried starting Windows with the "step-by-step" confirmation mode and the first thing I did was skip "processing the system registry." I said yes to everything else (load drivers and devices, run AUTOEXEC, etc.)and the machine booted! I was able to browse the internet and even play a couple games.

I had some issues with the registry on this machine before, so I wonder if that has something to do with it.

Coming back to say: I managed to restore a backup of the registry with Scanreg, and now my machine boots normally! Sorry I can't explain why it broke in the first place, though. Chalk it up to user error 😅

I don't think you meant to reopen this issue.
