I don't think this invalid setting causes windows to start slow. It will
mention it, and that's it.

You can open C:\msdos.sys with notepad, and delete the line marked.
Msdos.sys is by default hidden and system, so you'll first have to execute
attrib -H -S c:\msdos.sys enter
from a dosbox.

I suggest you run Spybot and/or Adaware for the system's slowness.

Contents of the Windows Msdos.sys File

Here is a way to edit MSDOS.sys. This is an important file.

(1) You won't even see it, unless "START, Settings, Folder Options, View
tab" is bolted "Show all files"; may as well uncheck "Hide file
extensions..." too.
(2) Find "C:\MSDOS.sys" and back it up. Call the backup MSDOS.bck, in
C:\.
(3) Then, R-Clk "C:\MSDOS.sys", Properties, and uncheck Read-Only.

(4) Open it in Notepad, &
(a) Put a semi-colon ( in front of the offender.
(b) Save it & Exit Notepad

(5) Then, R-Clk MSDOS.sys again, and make it Read-Only. Reboot.
(6) Can't reboot? Then, in DOS, copy the backup over the one you've
mussed.
(a) ATTRIB -R -S -H C:\MSDOS.sys
(b) COPY C:\MSDOS.bck C:\MSDOS.sys
(c) ATTRIB +R +S +H C:\MSDOS.sys

Here is what mine looks like...

If you use CVFs (Compressed Volume Files), do not include Dblspace=3D0 & =
Drvspace=3D0. Do not include Network=3D0, if you connect to a Network. =
Logo=3D0 suppresses the Windows logo at boot.

[Paths]
WinDir=3Dc:\windows
WinBootDir=3Dc:\windows
HostWinBootDrv=3Dc

[Options]
AutoScan=3D1
BootMenu=3D1 ;Per Win98
BootMenuDelay=3D10
Dblspace=3D0 ;Per Win98
Drvspace=3D0 ; Secrets
DoubleBuffer=3D1
Logo=3D0
Network=3D0
WinVer=3D4.10.2222

;
;The following lines are required for compatibility with other programs.
;Do not remove them (MSDOS.SYS needs to be 1024 bytes).

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
