Thanks Quaxo,
My pc is the big fat tower. I removed the s-video card and reinstalled my reinstallation disc . Now It works . I even reinstalled the s-video card and am now using that pc .I have a problem still with KERNEL 32.dl . This error keeps coming up when ever I first turn the pc on .I don't mind that ,but I also keep getting a message that a ertain page cant be read ,and if I hit " back " the page apears . I read where someone else has the same kernel problem and they were told to go to "run" and type config in .I did that, but the tab saying "config. sys" does not apear on my screen ,there are other tabs but after clicking on each one I dont find any of the tabs to be the one I can enter the line you mentioned .
I'm happy to have my pc back in use ,and if I can get this last bug out it will be perfect.
Neil
