STALLED UPDATE W/ WINDOWS 98, PLEASE HELP

OPERATING SYSTEM IS WINDOWS 98. DURING A WINDOWS UPDATE CHECK, I FOUND 1
DOWNLOAD TO INSTALL, AFTER IT WAS DOWNLOADED AND INSTALLED, THE SYSTEM
REQUIRED A RE-START. UPON BOOTING BACK UP A DIALOG BOX OPEN AND READ
"WINDOWS 98 SETUP, UPDATING SYSTEM SETTINGS" THIS IS NORMAL EXCEPT THE
COMPUTER LOCKS UP AFTER 4 BOXES AND WILL NOT CONTINUE THE SETUP. I CAN START
THE COMPUTER IN SAFE MODE, IS THERE A WAY TO UNINSTALL OR EVEN FIND OUT WHAT
I INSTALLED? THANK FOR YOUR HELP, MAUREEN

Brian,

Please do not post in all capital letters as it is hard to read and
is considered as shouting. Thanks.

Restart the system . Tap the F8 key . Choose MS-DOS Mode.
At the C:\ prompt type
scanreg /restore ( note the space between the g and the / )
Press enter. Choose the backup of the registry made just prior to
installing the update. Reboot the system.

Which update did you install and was your antivirus program running
during the installation process ?
