I am experiencing problems when I attempt to boot up my PC. I first switch the PC on and then I hear the hard drive rotating and the drivers loading until I get the message which reads �Ndishlp.sys could not load� then the Windows 98 screen comes up and freezes. I think �Ndishlp.sys� is a network driver that is failing to load.

I have been into Windows Help and can�t seem to rectify the problem. Weirdly when I unplug the PC and press the PCI cards, Memory, CPU, Hardrives, CDROM�s etc into their slots (just sort of pressing them in to make sure they are firmly installed) I plug the PC back in and reboot and it starts up fine and it doesn�t hang. What the hell is going on here? I do not understand. Has anyone come across such a strange problem before and are there any good soutions? Thanks in advance people!
