I am running windows 98SE on the following system

ASUS A7V133
JumperFree PC133/VC133
200/266Mhz FSB AGP Pro/4X
Socket A Motherboard
KT133A Chipset

Before Windows starts loading, there is a lot of information shown on the screen too fast for me to read. Is there a was to pause the system so that I can read the screen?

BTW: In my MSDOS.sys file I have logo = 0 under options. This prevents the Windows Logo screen from displaying while Windows is loading. Once in a blue moon that screen hides something you ought to know about. For example: A friends’s system consistently shut down just before or just after Windows loaded. His CPU fan was not working, and the CPU was heating up. The BIOS was showing a warning message about the fan, which was hidden by the Windows Logo screen. The BIOS was shutting the system down when the temperature got too high.

Hi Dinosaur,
I'd try the pause break key if you've got one.
