I'm troubleshooting a Win98 machine that will not boot. The error, "Explorer
performed illegal operation", is displayed on a gray screen with a "close"
button. When booting from a 98 diskette, the error, "vfat device
initialization failed-device or rescource required by vfat is not present or is
unavailable", is displayed (I think there is a message or two prior to this but
I don't remember what).
I've worked through the MS article 139063 for the possible causes, but to no
avail. One cause says, "...the config.sys file contains a line that points to
a previous version of the Ifshlp.sys file". I assume the version refers to the
file's size and date which are 3,708 and 4/23/99, respectively.
Any suggestions for further troubleshooting?
Thanks
Kurt
