ME startup 2

[buckleb]

Every time I start ME I get the "Updating configuration files...." message. Once ME has loaded, I get the same two windows open (despite closing them before shutting down). It's as if ME was 'saved' in a certain state and therefore starts in exactly the same way.

Any ideas?

Buckleb,


Turn off virus programs and RELOAD.

go to msconfig startup tab
uncheck any mcafee produce, norton or any other virus stuff.
uncheck the win.ini

put boot disk in drive A: and reboot
at A: type D:
at the D: prompt type D:\setup
wait for reload.




good luck

I had much the same problem, where I was getting an Explorer window from each of my 4 hard drive partitions on startup. I suspect you are using Norton Internet Security 2001.

I ran MSCONFIG and disabled NISDRV.VXD in the "Static VxD" folder, then made a shortcut targeted to "C:\Program Files\Norton Internet Security\IAMAPP.EXE" /load in the C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder. Now NIS loads later and the problem is gone!

Hope this helps...
