Subject: [PCSOFT] reloading windows still having trouble(3)
> My freind is still having trouble reloading windows. Here is a little
more information about the trouble.The system is a Packard Bell
150mhz,48Ram. I am not sure what version of 95 he has running. But he is
trying to reload without formatting. Should he shut down everything that
is running in the task before trying to reload?When he trys to reload he
gets a message that control panel settings have change since windows was
last installed to restart.So he does gets to the same point and gets the
same message.He has also tried from DOS with no luck. It was suggested
that if he had a diamond video card .To check and see if he had a red
and white diamond icon in the system tray and close or exit . That
was'nt the trouble.But I would like to say thak you to the person that
suggested it! Any ideas?
-----------------------------
Yes, he should close all programs in the task bar before starting the
installation. I checked on other causes for the error message you see.
This comes from the Microsoft Knowledge Base. The Diamond In Control
Tools is the program I thought might be problem before.
Some Control Panel or Device Settings Have Changed...

This error message occurs when Diamond In Control Tools is loaded or a

resolve
the issue. In Control Tools is a product of Diamond Multimedia, WinModem
