warm reboot fails

[Zelandakh]

There is a situation on one of my machines where a cold boot (from off) works fine, but a warm reboot (restart your machine) drops to command prompt after failing to find himem.sys.<br>
<br>
I know MS put a cure line into something like config.sys that involved above16 but cannot remember the details. Anyone clarify?

I assume you're talking Win95?&nbsp;&nbsp;I remember doing emmexcludes in system.ini and x= exclusions on emm386 in config.sys (thousands of years ago....) but you're talking getting as far as trying to reload so I don't know if they would help or not. <p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br> Of all the things I've lost in life, I miss my mind the most ...
