Right. "START button, Run, SysEdit", & post Config.sys, as Brian A.
said. May as well post Autoexec.bat as well, if any. Seems you are close
to the end of it!

| PCR,

boot.

adding the

Disabling the

| | I have been battling a VFAT error (a device or resource required
by
| vfat is
| | not present or is unavailable. Vfat cannot continue loading).
| |
| | The error message only occurs when a wireless pci card and drivers
are
| | loaded. It disappears if the card is removed. I have tried the
MS
| knowldge
| | base articles on this issue with no luck in the results.
| |
| | However, I have noticed the following, but do not know if it is
the
| issue:
| |
| | If I do a step by step confirmation during boot, the cpu will
load,
| but the
| | card still does not function. I did noticed that during boot the
| ifshlp.sys
| | file is loading as follows: devicehigh=c:\windows\ifshlp.sys
| |
| | This file is one that comes up in the knowldge abase articles, but
it
| should
| | be located in the config.sys, and not loading to high mem.
| |
| | My problems is that I cannot find where this command is located.
It
| is
| | definitly not in the autexec.bat, config.sys, win.ini, system.ini
or
| | protocol.ini, by checking with the sysedit command.
| |
| | The ifshlp.sys loading into high mem may not be the root cause,
but I
| would
| | like to at least check. Where \ how can I find this boot command
to
| change.
