2 beeps on POST
I'm helping a friend with his computer; he couldn't get
to desktop 'cuz it would stop at message: "IOsubsys driver subdirectory corrupted or system low on memory." (not exact). After reinstalling his W98 OS, I was trying to do sys maintenance, and found an IOsubsys folder in the Recycle bin. (I left it there for now.) He said he might have put it there by mistake. Also, I cleaned it out (canned air), then when I went to continue working on it, I got the double beep on POST. I will check tomorrow for loose boards, etc. but I'm trying to find out what the 2 beep means. Also, on reinstall, it gave msg about C:\WINDOWS\system\bridge.dll Cannot find file specified. Is this a valid file or just a spyware/trash file?? (I saw this file in another computer come up after a NAV scan, identified as adware.) Any help appreciated!!! |
