file missing IFSHLP.SYS
an old laptop won't boot and gives the missing IFSHLP.SYS msg.
There is no startup diskette, and I don't have access to another winme machine. The knowledge base instructions pretty much all have methods done from Windows, but I can't boot into windows. I found one KB article that talked about extracting a file (like IFSHLP.SYS from cab files in c:\windows\options\install. The extract command seems to need the source cab file specified. How do I know which cab file has a specific file? Any way to get windows to run again ? I do have the OEM cd's, and I've tried to reload windows, but it always stops at 65% completion with SUWIN error, GPF in mod VERX.DLL. |
