Subj: Unusual Win95 Problem: IOSUBSYS My kids' Pentium 200 running Windows 95 with 32 megs of RAM developed an odd problem. My son had added Internet Explorer 4 (from a game-maker program CD), which may or may not be relevant, except that I've heard talk of crashes. A bit later, boot-up produced an error message just before final entry into Win 95. It said something like a file was corrupted in .\IOSUBSYS or memory was low. At this point the screen freezes at the black DOS screen with that message. I doubt memory is the problem, so I tried copying over the IOSUBSYS directory from another Pentium from the same vendor (ProGen). No dice. (Could there be some kind of OLE linking which is still seeing the original Iosubsys directory, even though I renamed that folder IOSUBSYS.BAD?) Is anybody familiar with this problem? The kids did not have Windows backed up, and safe mode has not really helped. Where to begin?? Thanks! Mike Dr. Michael W.
