hi, my pc is experiencing a boot problem. on boot up, it tries to load boot record from the floppy, which says not found. Then, it loads boot record from from IDE-0, which says it is ok. HIMEM tests extended memory, says done. The windows XMS driver then loads, but an error message then appears that says ERROR: HIMEM.SYS has detected unreliable memory at address 02E02808 and XMS driver not installed.
To continue starting your computer press ENTER.
Once that is done, it says HIMEM.SYS is missing, and to make sure that file is in my windows directory, Windows has stopped, restart the computer.

I have looked in the windows directory, and HIMEM.SYS is present. I ran a McAffee rescue disc to search for viruses, and none were found.

Anyone have any ideas? I am stumped.
