-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Disk Boot Problem

I had tried what you suggested but it was not consistent.
The specific commands I have said "don't load" to are

dts.vxd
C:/Program Files/Grisoft/AVG7/AVG7CORF.vxd
C:/Program Files/Grisoft/AVG7/AVG7RX.vxd
C:/Program Files/Grisoft/AVG7/AVG7TDI.vxd
vsetupf.vxd
ndiswan.vxd
msmouse.vxd

I tried loading only msmouse.vxd of this group and it
gave me the error message.

I also tried loading the 3 AVG files (since I figured they
were not part of the Windows boot stuff) and I got the
error message.

So I did not try all combinations but the 2 I did try did
not help me to understand my problem.

Thanks

Don
