Well, since having disabled Autoexec.bat and Config.sys in MSCONFIG
(which is where those backups with TSH extension came from) you have installed a couple more things. A ULead scanner or camera, and a Creative app, probably some infrared device(?) Those installations added new lines to the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files that were not retained when those got wiped out by restoring the TSH backups. It's the Creative entry, I'm almost certain, that caused the error. (Some sort of infrared device?)Use FindFiles & Folders to locate CTVOLINI.EXE. Does it exist? And is it in the folder, C:\Program Files\Creative\INFRA\ ? Regardless, I think the best way to fix this is to reinstall it. See what gets added to Autoexec.bat and Config.sys after installing it. Do this *after* doing the rest of what I suggest--edit the files as suggested below and test, first, before reinstalling the Creative software. You also installed AVG and some ULead software (scanner or camera related, probably.) You can either reinstall both or simply add the proper lines back into the proper files. The easiest way to edit these files is to run SYSEDIT from the Start\Run box. Autoexec.bat: Add following lines at end of file: SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVG6 SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\ULEADS~1\MPEG SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\PROGRA~1\ULEADS~1\ULEADD~1 C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVG7\BOOTUP.EXE That's four lines, three that start SET PATH, and one that starts with C:\PROGRA~1 and ends with BOOTUP.EXE. Your news reader--or mine-- may wrap one or more lines and insert a line break. The additional two lines in Config.sys are probably worth adding, too. Though they usually aren't necessary for Windows 98, they might be needed by the AVG BOOTUP.EXE program (or the Creative prog.) Put them at the beginning of the file. DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE X=C000-CFFF Now, you should see the lines from Autoexec.bat as you start up the system. Once everything seems OK, if you'd rather *not* see those lines, add this line to the top of Autoexec.bat: @ECHO OFF -- Gary S.

This all reminds me of attempts to install a CREATIVE infra red cordless
keyboard & mouse some time ago, but aborted due to not having the "correct" software.!!!(can't find it) Searched for CTVOLINI.EXE ........not found. All suggested editting done with Autoexec.bat & Config.sys OK. Boots OK. Deleted the CREATIVE folder after all above tasks. Now do I still have keep the Autoexe & Config selected in the "startup" in MSCONFIG.......Many say Win98se does not require them, but if you suggest still select them I will do that. Thanks for all the help. Terry |

Yes, you do need to keep those files enabled. While they aren't needed
to run Windows, they *are* needed to configure your system to the right language and keyboard settings. You also have some path statements that ULead software might need, plus that antivirus (AVG) entry which gets the protection in place at the earliest possible moment. -- Gary S.
