iosubsys problem
I have a dual boot system with WinMe on 1 drive and XP on another. When
starting WinMe today, I got a bluescreen with the following msg: While initializing device IOS Error:An I/O subsytem driver failed to load. Either a file in the ..\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt or the system is low on memory. System halted. It appears that my USB ports are not coming up and unfortunately, about 2 wks ago I replaced my ps2 mouse with an MS optical USB mouse. I can boot in safe mode but can't do much without a mouse. I booted in logged mode and the last few lines of bootlog.txt a [00103595] Enumerating USB Human Interface Device (USB\VID_045E&PID_0083\INST_0) [00103595] Enumerated USB Human Interface Device (USB\VID_045E&PID_0083\INST_0) [00103595] Enumerating HID-compliant mouse (HID\VID_045E&PID_0083\0000USB&VID_045E&PID_0083&I NST_0) [00103595] Enumerated HID-compliant mouse (HID\VID_045E&PID_0083\0000USB&VID_045E&PID_0083&I NST_0) [00103595] DEVICEINIT = ACPI [00103595] DEVICEINITSUCCESS = ACPI [00103595] DEVICEINIT = VCDFSD [00103595] DEVICEINITSUCCESS = VCDFSD [00103595] DEVICEINIT = IOS I went in thru the XP side and ran a Scandisk and a virus scan on my C drive (WinMe drive) and got no unusual results. What should I try next? Should I try re-loading all the original drivers or could that just open up a new can of worms? All of my most used programs are on the WinMe side, so I'm really up a creek. Your help would be greatly appreciated. -- George J. Wallace |

iosubsys problem
Hi Mike;
1) I went thru the bios and all its' submenus and there isn't an "enable legacy usb" option. Would "usb emulation on/off" be the option I want. 2) When you suggest that the problem is caused by attempting to limit memory usage, do you mean by using 1 of the so-called "ram-booster" utilities? I tried 1 months ago but could see no benefit so I uninstalled it. Could it have left garbage in the registry to come back and bite me? Thanks a ton for your help! "Mike M" wrote in message ... I can boot in safe mode but can't do much without a mouse. Enable Legacy USB support in the BIOS. This should then allow you to use your mouse when in Safe Mode. Try booting to Safe Mode and run System Restore to a checkpoint created before your problems began. Your problem could be due to your attempting to limit memory usage. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP Windows [2001-2006] George J.

iosubsys problem
Nothing drastically wrong there - unless you're short on disk space
Why are you limiting vCache? - how much RAM is installed? You have a high minimum filesize for the swapfile - why? WPSLPT1=0 This looks as if you're had a Canon printer installed at some point, and uninstalled it?? -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "George J.

iosubsys problem
Hi Noel;
On my C drive (with Me installed) I've got 12.5 gig free, on my D drive (with XP installed) I have 23.9 gig free, on my E drive (just data files) 5.17 gig free, and my F drive (data files again) I have 32.1 gig free. I've never had a Canon printer or scanner, just a Lexmark printer. Sorry, I honestly can't answer your questions about the swapfile and vcache. I don't recall ever changing them, but then, I'm a geezer and have trouble remembering yesterday :-) George J. Wallace |

Hence you limiting vcache. I can't see anything wrong with your system/ini file. My comment was solely based on a reference I found where a similar error message to the one you are seeing was displayed. I'll bet your off watching the Allstar Game :-) I rather doubt it.
