Description
I used a Windows 98 Image from [Windows 98 Second Edition (OEM Full)(https://winworldpc.com/download/417d71c2-ae18-c39a-11c3-a4e284a2c3a5), I installed this image from virtualbox converted it to an image then I proceeded to launch it in the website. As I was launching it, it detected the drivers and after that it prompted me to restart. After the first restart everything was normal It showed the login screen but after I logged in, It started installing these drivers pci ide controller , intel 82371SB pci bus master ide controller , unknown device, primary ide controller(dual fifo), unknown device and secondary ide controller (dual fifo) after this was installed it prompted me to restart again. After i restarted, it wouldn't boot up to the login screen anymore it just loads forever from the splashscreen even when I tried restarting it won't get pass the loading screen.

Research direction
The report names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing the Windows 98 Second Edition image in the v86 website through the driver-triggered restart, then investigate the endless splash-screen load; done means the image reaches the login screen after restarting.
