I spoke to quickly.  With Win 98 you can go to programs/accessories/system
tools/system information/tools/system configuration.  Then check the
autoexec.bat tab.  If there is a box in front of the TSR program, uncheck
it, click apply and OK, then OK to restart.  If it isn't there check sys.ini
tab, the win.ini tab, and the startup tab.  You can usually uncheck the box
and do an apply OK, OK restart to kill it.  In the autoexec.bat you may have
to put "rem" (without the quotes) in front of the line that runs it since
there may not be a box to uncheck. Joel

A TSR means a program that "terminates and stays resident" in memory.  They
are somewhat undesirable since they do take up your system memory/resources.
Copying the "win.ini" would not delete the file that's missing from the
computer generating the error message.  You'd have to find the missing file
and delete it from the computer that you want to emulate the one generating
the error message.  Either that or you can do it the easy way by editing the
win.ini by placing a semicolon or the word "rem" (without the quotes) in
front of the text line that loads the program.

Subject: [PCBUILD] TSR file


When windows 98 is loading, right before the network login window appears,
an
error is brought up that says "Missing TSR File, please check win.ini". As
strange as it may sound this is the desired effect at the moment. However, I
don't know what a TSR file is. I want to get the same error to occur on
another computer (the exact same computer in everyway) in the same network
so
I copied the win.ini file of the computer that has the error, to the
computer
I want the missing TSR file error to appear. That did not change a thing and
I failed to get the missing TSR file error. Any help or understanding what a
TSR file is would be greatly appreciated.
