STOP!  DO NOTHING!\nYou will have to pass the computer to someone who knows what they're doing...\nYour machine is currently dual boot, 98 and XP.\nWhen you startup, a menu is presented with the choice of which OS to use.  The details of available operating systems are held in a file (boot.ini) on the C: drive - which is where the W98 is...\nIf you clear/format this drive your PC won't know how to start.\nIf you rid yourself of the W98 partition (so that you can use the space for XP....  screwed again!  All the software loaded under XP (including XP itself) will expect to find XP on the D drive, but it will be the C: drive now.  Nothing will run.\nI recommend that you leave it be!  If it ain't broke don't fix it.\nThere are options in the boot.ini which can cause the XP to be selected as default, and for the menu to chose the default after a certain number of seconds - try setting this to 1.\nBUT FIRST.  Start up W98. use Control Panel to unload all software except W98.  defrag the drive. now you can use any remaining space from XP - for backups perhaps...\n\nBE CAREFUL.  This is a dangerous forum in which to seek technical assistance.  \n\nThe link below gives more about boot.ini\n\nBe Lucky!

Click the Start and select Run. Then type MSCONFIG and click OK. In the window select STARTUP tab. Then uncheck the programs you do not want to run on startup. The click Apply and the close. Now you must restart. When it starts a window will come up about the startup menu being changed. Put a check in the little box and click OK. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.\n\nIf you uncheck a progrram you need, you can always go back and check it and then restart again and it will work.

There's a way to deactivate that menu. If you have Win Xp and if it starts, click Start -> system panel or configuration panel (something panel) -> then in the panel window look for SYSTEM and click twice on it -> in the next window click on ADVANCED in the choices at the top of the window. then under ADVANCED you'll find 3 buttons called parameters, click on the 3rd, in the next window unmark the two first option-squares and click OK. Restart your computer.Please if this works(I hope), give me ten points. Thank you. Good luck.

To make this a bit less annoying, first off, instead of rebooting, try Ctrl + Alt + Del to access the task manager, then end the explorer.exe, if listed.  Then go to File - New Task (Run) and type 'explorer.exe' and hit enter to get everything running again, hopefully.  At least until you try to right-click again.  This should help hold you over.\n\nGo to Start - Run and type sfc.exe /scannow ---then hit Enter.\n\nAlso click here to download a registry patch that will disable the right-click function of XP.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenuundo.reg\n\n(I believe that you would have to reboot the computer for this to apply, but I would try first without rebooting)\n\nThen click here to reenable it.\nhttp://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/regs_edits/contextmenu.reg\n\nI thought this would be much easier than editing the registry.  Hope this works for you, it has for others.  Good luck.

Goto start on your bar> Control Panel > Mouse >Uncheck the switch buttons box under "Button Configuration" in the Button tab > Press Ok\nIt should be fine now.\n\nIf you can't see a mouse option, there should be an option to switch to "Classic View" on the left hand side of the window.
