Hi. My question is just a general question about Windows 95. A while back, my Mom's computer had a problem with a missing or corrupted hymen.sys file. Well, we don't have that computer anymore but I am curious anyway. I am just wondering what exactly this hymen.sys file is and what does it do?
As for the computer, here's what happened. I messed with it for a couple of days trying to figure out the problem. I eventually decided to get a copy of hymen.sys off the Internet which was successful after a long search through Google. I got the file, put it on floppy and decided I'd replace the missing or corrupted hymen.sys file. Well, I failed miserably. I had little experience with DOS back then and was unable to do it. So, I decided I'd format the hard drive after consulting with a few computer guys I knew. So, I went about formatting the hard drive which I did through a command on one of the system restore floppies. As I got partly through the format, I realized that I didn't know how to reinstall Windows. I cancelled the download and it screwed the computer up. So, the computer was then looked at by 2 different people (neither could fix it) and I consulted with a guy from a local computer store. He told me that the hard drive was probably bad and we was going to buy a hard drive right then at the store but when the guy went to test it (it was a used one), he had problems and we was in a hurry and had to go. We then gave up on the computer and gave it to a friend and told him he could use it for parts or whatever he wanted to do with it.
Well, any info you can provide on hymen.sys will be greatly appreciated. Just in case you need to know I believe the operating system was an earlier version of Windows 95. Thanks!
