Hi,

This isn't the first time I have the problem below! In the past I have just
re-installed Windows95 to solve it.  However I am becoming sick of doing
this and wonder if anyone has a simpler, and more sensible solution?
The machine is a Tosh Satellite, and I have just installed Frontpage 2000 on
it.  When the machine is restarted I get the following error:

"While initialising device IOS:

Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt, or the system is
low on memory.

And there it sits until I power off the machine.  I have encountered this
before on a Compaq Laptop when a colleague installed AutoRoute.

Please, please someone tell me that they have a far better solution to this
than just reloading the operating system.

Regards
David
