Listers,
I have a problem similar to the one that produces a second screen, but it
gives me a directory listing of the C: drive.  Any idea what could be
causing this?  Where and what could I be looking for?  I'm running Win 95B.
Dave

        Rick: the machine never stops during the boot process, after the
second
        black screen  it goes right to desktop, no problems, never a
hang-up. It
        only stops at the second boot page for about 2-3 seconds then right
to
        desktop. I was wondering what in my setup or system would cause
that, does
        everyone have a three screen boot process??   Not a real concern as
a
        problem, just annoying but may be normal, I know the C prompts are
not but
        it NEVER hangs up during boot up.  Running Win 95A,  also can I
download B
        version or update from somewhere?
