Hello all, I am a NOVICE. I have this message which displays just long enough for me to see it when booting up my comp. I was told to hit control s to freeze the screen and it doesn't. However the message that I think is there says: there is an error in your
config.sys file on line 9. C\:MWW\MANAGER\VHD50420.EXE. I have
been wrestling with this problem by myself and with help from someone at protonic but he gave up on me. I don't honestly think I was doing anything unusual. When I go to START/PROGRAMS/
ACCESSORIES/NOTEPAD AND tried to copy and paste to the forementioned techs e-mail so he could check it out I could not.
The first few times I tried to open either C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT or..
C\:CONFIG.SYS it would open onto the page so I could see what
I call DOS commands but when I went to paste it or move it to his e-mail I did not know how to (I know how to now). The problem is that when I click open..now....so as to select all for highlighting in order to paste to his e-mail on either of these commands they no longer "open" onto the screen for copy/paste purposes.
I suspect this corrupted file is causing a lot of problems yet I am able to pretty much go about my business.. just with a lot of irritation. I have a 1996 IBM pentium 166 mhz w/ 80mg ext. ram
It is a model 2176-c65. I have never used a forum like this before and may be leaving soon as it is late here. Pls help. thanks kevcro. Also. I ran the advanced diagnostic test on the disc which
came with this computer. It says that I have 63 bad or corrupted
sections on my hard disc (I think). What gives techmeisters??
