Just a thought, all of the aboved entries have not mentioned the possiblity of the temp folder being full of unrequired temp files. If this folder gets to full it greatly slows the machine to a crawl. Go into the Windows System folder and scroll down to the TEMP folder. If there are a lot of...

Most SDRAM is compatiable but it is advisable to check your user manual for your mobo to see if the type of RAM is compat. It would also depend on what type of SDRAM you already have in your machine and the speed of both the RAM and Mobo. You can not use a 66 or 100 MHz RAM if your system is...

This sounds like the LASTDRIVE statement in the config.sys is set to "D" and not "Z". Go to the VEIW button on the tool bar and then to the folder options if you are using Win 98 or to Tools on ME and uncheck hide all files. Sometimes the Config.sys is hidden. Open it up in...

I should have asked you what equipment you are running. I should shoot myself some days...spoo just jogged my memory. to it. Some of the S3 and Viper PCI cards have a tendency to cause the problem. It is mainly in the drivers. I haven't seen it in any of the later AGP cards as yet but have heard...

Steve do you have availability to Norton Utilities at all. If so run windoctor. It should give you a base to work from. It can sometimes repair the problem but not always. I tried to replicate the problem you described on one of my test machines, but was unable to. It does seem to be in the...

I have found on occassion that a corruption of the ActiveX drivers has caused the problem you have discribed. Try downloading the critical updates for ActiveX from MS. Also do you have Norton's on your system. If so use Windoctor to find out what other program or programs are causing the...

I dont wish to rain on anybodies grissles, but the network I have been looking after for quite some time now is working quite well after I made some changes and added both patches. The original patch for the shutdown and USER.EXE patch work well in tandem. Plus I also found the Fujitsu HD very...

Pauls right the main one is Logo.sys. It is in the Root Directory of your C: drive. The 2 shutdown screens are in the Windows Folder. They are Logow.sys and Logos.sys. These can be changed the same way as the Startup screen if that is why you need to know where they are. By the way Paul thanks...

Yes Sub_XL, Paul is right the file is Logo.sys and it is in the root directory. The other 2 are in the Windows Folder and they are Logow.sys and Logos.sys. These are the shutdown screens. If you do want to change them Paul has pointed you to my FAQ on this task. It may be a bit involved but I...

Ed what about the references to the SB in the main registry (LOCAL_MACHINE). SE will rebuild the driver database from the reg. I had the same problem with a network card several weeks ago. I located the references and removed them. Also removed all other references in the Config.sys...

Karl this is one problem with smaller Fujitsu drives that I have come across over the last few years. They do not normally like being on the same IDE cable. Especially if they are not of the same size. I have found that by using the second IDE cable and having the CD ROM on that cable as well...
