        Is this the first time you've tried to create a new account?

        Why do you need another one, may I ask?

        Are you sure there are no error messages at all?

        Is this a genuine version of Windows 98, not a copy?

          There are probably still remnants of the virus on your computer.

          How did you remove the virus? Can you remember what it was?

          Also, I strongly suggest getting a new computer. Windows 98 is awfully outdated.

            I'm not so familiar with Windows 98, you my help here will be limited. Hopefully, someone will join in.

            Anyways, when was it when you sent it to the shop? Do you happen to have the Windows CD?

                Be sure to enable "Multiple Users" after you open "Users" In Control Panel. Take a look at thdis for help..

                  its not there when it pops up it completely blank but at the top it sais user accounts.
                  and i went to computer managment and it doesnt say local users and groups because i tried to give it administrator rights but its not there.
