One of the respondents on this thread mentioned "Too many files open". If she is running Windows Millennium, then she should see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article # 269030 which says that the FILES and BUFFERS parameters no longer work in CONFIG.SYS. WinMe will by default have only 30 file handles (did they think it was not a serious business machine?). If you want more file handles do this:
From Start/Run, type MSCONFIG.
Select the SYSTEM.INI tab.
Highlight the [386Enh] group.
(Click on the + to see the items in this group.)
Add this line (or edit if there):
PerVMFiles = 225
Note: You may not need to go as high as 225.
The maximum value is 225 (plus the 30 already allocated).
Click Apply or OK when finished.
When finished, Windows will want to ReStart.
