Post the Problem Devices section too, if any.


In 8 years on the net, this is the longest post I've ever made.
Below is as you requested.
The mouse is the only problem listed- it is not a real problem. My
motherboard does not seem to recognize my Logictech wheel mouse properly
from day 1. The mouse works fine, the tech says it's OK, so it's been
like that for years.

Advice?

Default CD drives quit simultaneously- some results

I'm hoping Glee will see that & come back from Saskatchewan. Mine is a
WheelMouse1 (PS/2), with only 3 of your drivers showing there...
lmul.vxd, lmouse.drv, lmouse.vxd... all of File Date: 8/18/1999 8:35 AM.
I guess let yours be, if it is working well.

As far as your actual problem, just as Glee said... Standard IDE/ESDI
Hard Disk Controller... seems unnatural. BUT, I am not Intel 82371SB PCI
Bus Master IDE Controller. I am VIA Bus Master PCI IDE Controller.

If you want, I can post one of Terhune's devastation posts, where he
removes all manner of controllers & duplicates in Device Manager. But HE
will have to be responsible for the consequences! Or Glee!

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

Default CD drives quit simultaneously- some results

Well, in your earlier post you mention that only these items appear under Hard disk
controllers in Device Manager:
a. Intel 823715B PCI Bus Master IDE Controller Properties
b. Primary IDE Controller (dual fifo)
c. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller

Yet, msinfo32 shows
Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller
Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)

and two physical hard drives, plus the two optical drives (CD-ROM and CD burner).

The IDE/ESDI Hard disk controller is apparently an IDE controller on your ESS sound
card.

Here is how I would proceed:
Start the computer in SAFE MODE.
In safe Mode, open Device Manager, expand the Hard Disk Controllers category, and
remove *every* instance of the Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller and the
Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller. Windows won't let you remove the Primary
and Secondary IDE controllers....you can try, but it won't let you. If there is a
category named Other, expand it and remove every item listed there. Then click
OK/Close.

Click Start Shutdown Restart.
As soon as it begins to restart, press the key that allows you to enter the BIOS
setup program. Often it is the Delete key, but it may be the F1, F2 or another
key.....there should be a prompt on-screen at the beginning of the boot sequences
that says what key to press to enter Setup.

In the BIOS setup, make sure you have both the primary and secondary IDE Controllers
enabled, and set to Auto if that option exists. Exactly where you will find that
setting varies with the brand and version of the BIOS. On an Award BIOS here, it is
found on the Integrated Peripherals screen:
OnChip IDE First Channel: Enable
OnChip IDE Second Channel: Enable
IDE Primary Master PIO: Auto
IDE Primary Slave PIO: Auto
IDE Secondary Master PIO: Auto
IDE Secondary Slave PIO: Auto
IDE Primary Master UDMA: Auto
IDE Primary Slave UDMA: Auto
IDE Secondary Master UDMA: Auto
IDE Secondary Slave UDMA: Auto

If you need to make changes, save then when you exit the BIOS setup. Then let
Windows start, and it will detect the controllers. Let *all* the controllers be
detected prior to accepting any prompt to reboot. When the detections are done,
then you can manually reboot. You may need to go back after the reboot and set the
Dual IDE Settings to "Both IDE Channels Selected" again.

Post back with your results.

Default CD drives quit simultaneously- some results

Ms, on my Compaq, the BIOS Setup key is F10. As it seems to be important
to get into BIOS before booting to Windows & after doing those "removes"
in Device Manager, perhaps discover/practice your key first...

......Quote of Candlin about...............
......keystrokes to get to BIOS Setup....
Usually DEL, but F1, F2, F10 are also common.

Other keystrokes which might work a

AMI BIOS: Del key during the POST
DTK BIOS: Esc key during the POST
Award BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Esc
Misc BIOS: Ctrl-Esc
Phoenix BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Esc or Ctrl-Alt-S
IBM PS/2 BIOS: Ctrl-Alt-Ins after Ctrl-Alt-Del

If all else fails, shut down, power off, unplug the keyboard,
and power up again, as some older systems will default
to the CMOS Setup if a keyboard is not found.
.......End of Quote............................

The above is for me a jump off a cliff, but I will chew on it and reply.
Us ordinary mortals proceed a little slow.

Looks like Glee posted one good enough. STILL, I'll post one, JUST SWEAR
you never will tell Terhune I did so & read my disclaimer. I hope you
have the Windows Installation .cab files either on CD or in a folder.
Also, I hope you don't end up in a reboot loop.

.......Quote..............
Multiple CD-ROM Drive Letters After Upgrading to Windows 98
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=189386

The above is a *very* particular error, but you should take a look at
it.

Regardless, your problem is almost certainly *not* Windows Explorer,
it's
the CD drive itself. Or rather, it's the CD drive's drivers installation
and/or supporting software. I suggest, before you do anything else, that
you
partially rebuild your hardware profile in Safe Mode. Here's the whole
procedu

1. StartRun (type in) MSCONFIG enter
2. Click on Advanced button at lower right, then "Enable Startup
Menu".
OK, OK, reboot when prompted.
3. When the Startup Menu appears, choose Safe Mode, wait for it to
load.
4. Right-click My Computer, then (left) click Properties, then choose
Device Manager tab.
5. Remove ALL drives, including floppy, hard disk(s), CD(s), whatever.
Remove ALL floppy and IDE controllers (except FIFOs, which can't be
removed
here.)
6. Remove the System Device called "PCI Bus"
7. Review the rest of Device Manager and note down any device which
has
more than one *identical* entry. Make a list, note how many of each
duplication.
8. Close Device Manager, etc.
9. StartRun SCANREGW /backup
10. StartRun REGEDIT
11. Expand (click on +) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then expand "Enum"
12. Right-click on "MF" key, and Delete. (this removes FIFOs.) Close
REGEDIT.
13. StartSettingsControl PanelAdd/Remove Programs. Remove anything
remotely resembling a CDROM support application. If any CD Burners are
part
of the system, remove any cd-burning software, also.
14. Open Windows Explorer. Go to View menu, Folder Options, View tab.
There, make sure "Show All Files" is checked, and "Hide Extensions for
Known
Filetypes" is *not* checked. OK, OK.
15. In View menu, choose Details.
16. Rename Autoexec.bat to Autoexec.old. Do the same with
Config.sys=Config.old.
17. StartRun MSINFO32
18. Expand "Software Environment", click on "Startup Programs" (or
whatever
looks similar.) Click anywhere in right-hand pane. Use Ctrl-A to select
all,
then Ctrl-C to Copy.
19. Right-click on empty spot on Desktop, New, Text Document. Name it
StartInfo.txt. Open it, then use Ctrl-V to paste in Startup Programs
list.
Save, Close.
20. StartRun MSCONFIG
22. Choose Selective Startup, then Uncheck "Load Startup Group Items".
Make
sure it's completely unchecked. Click OK, restart when prompted.
23. Reinstalling Devices will take two or three restarts. With few
exceptions, all the drivers should be readily available to Windows--you
shouldn't need to provide anything except, perhaps, your Windows
Installation files (on CD or in C:\Windows\Options\CABS.)
24. Try your new system as is. If it all works well, run MSCONFIG again
and
re-enable Normal Startup, then reboot, etc. Only things that may not
work
are those that require things to load in Autoexec.bat and/or Config.sys,
but
we'll get to that.
25. Test your system again.
26. Right-Click My Computer, then choose Properties, then Performance
tab.
Any mention of Real-Mode Compatibility in there? Or does it say you're
system is configured for optimal performance?
27. Report back here with results, and include:
a. Your list of duplicated Device Manager items
b. MSINFO Startup list.
c. Contents of Autoexec.old and Config.old files.

We'll be able to advise on whatever else may need to be done to clean
up.
Oh, and one last thing. After all of this is done, before posting back
here,

For your further reading pleasure, see my article, "Clean Boot--What it
is
and why you need it"
http://www.google.com/groups?selm=%2...GP11.phx.gb l

Because some of the more recent known invaders are capable of
interfering
with the suggestions contained in the above, I suggest you also consider
first doing the following, though it may be necessary to set up a clean
boot, and even then manually kill a malicious process or two before you
can
even get these accomplished.

Update your Antivirus, run a full scan. Then, if you haven't already,
get,
update and run any or all of the following
Trojan/Parasite/Adware/Spyware
cleaners. I recommend getting and running *all* of them. They each
target
slightly different things. Again, be sure you update the definitions
they
are using to identify crap before running them, each time you run
them--which, depending on your surfing habits, should be anything from
once
a month, to once a week, to once a day, to once an hour if you're really
into junkware sites (aka "Free goodies", game sites, fun-places-to-be,
etc.)

Ad-Aware http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
SpyBot-Search & Destroy http://www.safer-networking.org/
HijackThis http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip
CWShredder http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/cwshredder.zip

PLEASE! Before doing any of these, see also,
http://www.mvps.org/inetexplorer/Darnit.htm for suggestions and
cautionary
information about internet surfing, and some important hints about using
the
above. ESPECIALLY, be aware that HijackThis scans result in a LOT of
stuff
that you *don't* want to delete. The admonishment to save a log and show
it
to an expert is critically good advice. Not following that advice can
really
do some damage to your system. SpyBot, too, is capable of similar
problems,
especially if you change default scan settings or "Immunize".

Intel 82371SB PCI Bus Master IDE Controller
Primary IDE controller (dual fifo)
Secondary IDE controller (dual fifo)
Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller S3 Trio64V+ PCI (765) [Display
adapter]

So a bus controller is on an old video card. Is this unusual?

Anyway, I read through the posts, you both feel my lineup is not normal,
if this is the right phrase.

Before I do some (for me) drastic steps, a basic question occurs.

My controller setup originally occurred when the tech set up my BIOS in
1997. The machine ran really troublefree until 2001 when he added a
second CD writer and second hard drive. It ran fine for years until
about 4 months ago. Until then, my W98SE was far less trouble than I see
on this ng, or hear about from friends. I maybe had 3-5 BSOD a year.

Starting 3 months ago, I got black screens on startup. Virus and spyware
scans seldom show anything. The tech said tape over the insert key held
down, may have caused the black screens. He said my lineup of partitions
between 2 physical drives was wrong. I pointed out they were working
like that for 3 years, he renumbered them for a "normal" lineup.
The machine is fine for the last month, but then the CD drives died. The
Recycle bin is OK, there's a hidden file that's the problem.
When he renumbered the partitions, I don't think it would effect the
controllers.

If my controller lineup is basically wrong, how reasonably could both CD
drives work fine for about 3 years?

Comment?

The controller is apparently on the ESS sound card. Your listing above apparently
placed two items on one line, but they are not related. It should read:
Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller
S3 Trio64V+ PCI (765) [Display adapter]
AFAIK, IDE controllers were not put on any video cards, but many were found on sound
cards.

Tape over the Insert key?? Do you mean you had tape on the key holding it down?
How did that come about?

I have no idea what you are referring to here. What did the tech do? What do you
mean by "the lineup of the partitions between the two drives"? What do you mean by
"he renumbered them"? You current drive configuration shows that the first physical
hard drive has drives C: and E:, while the second physical drive has drives D:, F;,
and G: This means that you have a Primary on the first drive (C:\), and a Primary
on the second drive (D. Unless you have an operating system on both those
physical drives, there is really no reason to have any primary partition on the
second drive....an Extended partition with Logical drives would have served just as
well. I think you may mean that the tech changed the first partition on the second
physical drive to a Primary, which shuffled drive letters around. Is this correct?


If my controller lineup is basically wrong, how reasonably could both CD
drives work fine for about 3 years?


Since the tech you refer to changed this somehow, despite the fact that there were
no problems, perhaps you should ask him these questions, since only he knows what he
actually did, and why.

How did that come about?

I occasionally hit the insert key by accident, so I put tape OVER the
key, not touching, so my finger could tell the difference. Appearently,
the tape contacted the key, after he cleared that, the black screen at
bootup was gone, it came back several days later, then was gone for good???

He said my lineup of partitions
between 2 physical drives was wrong. I pointed out they were working
like that for 3 years, he renumbered them for a "normal" lineup.

I have no idea what you are referring to here. What did the tech do? What do you
mean by "the lineup of the partitions between the two drives"?


With 2 physical drives, I had a C and D partition on one drive, my CD
writer drive was E, the second drive had F, G and H partitions. The
second CD drive was not hooked up then. He said that does not follow
windows standard lineup. Except it worked fine for 3 years after he
installed the CD writer drive and the partitions numbered themselves
that way. He just didn't notice at the time, and since it worked, I was
happy.

What do you mean by
"he renumbered them"? You current drive configuration shows that the first physical
hard drive has drives C: and E:, while the second physical drive has drives D:, F;,
and G: This means that you have a Primary on the first drive (C:\), and a Primary
on the second drive (D.


He changed the nomenclature that way.

Unless you have an operating system on both those
physical drives, there is really no reason to have any primary partition on the
second drive....an Extended partition with Logical drives would have served just as
well. I think you may mean that the tech changed the first partition on the second
physical drive to a Primary, which shuffled drive letters around. Is this correct?

I'm sure you're right. So it worked for months after that, as you see
it. Also, I cold boot each day, so if something is wrong, it shows up.

Which leads to my basic question below.


If my controller lineup is basically wrong, how reasonably could both CD
drives work fine for about 3 years?

The suggested changes are serious enough IMO that I will print this out
and see him.

But any comment on the above is appreciated.

Thanks,

MS
