    Here is the source of your problem:

    ...delted a bunch of useless files.
    I would suggest you undelete them. AdAware dosen't remove anything but adware/spyware.

    Does the blue screen say anything? If so, please post it here.

    Did you hit F8 as the box was booting? If not, do that and see if you can possibly get into safe mode.

    Have you any idea what files you deleted?

    What made you decide that they were useless?

    Cheers


    EDIT: Have you got a WIN98 boot disk and/or the WINMe CD?
