Hi everybody,
I have a problem which is not a big deal but makes me angry every mornig. When I start my Win95 PC, after the I logged on to my network a small window opens saying "Windows will install the following components:" and nothing behind that. And then it deletes my wallpaper and I have to go to the Display-config and set it up again. I have no idea where this "sh.."-window comes from and how I can get rid of it. Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Best regards
Oliver
 
check what type of display driver windows is using maybe the correct driver needs to be installed .
 
In fact, I installed the latest MDAC Version. Might there be the problem?
Thanks
Oliver
 
Installing MDAC will create a new entry in the registry that runs every time Windows starts. You can remove this annoying message if you delete the following key "mdac_runonce" in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

Once you delete this key, you will not get the message again. Hope this helps.
 
Thanks a lot,
that tip worked. Makes my morning much better.
best regards
Oliver
