Hello, i have a very huge problem with my IBM Aptiva and Win 95. When I start my computer, the system goes to the Windows95-Picture and then it shows directly the "C:\Windows>"-prompt. Even when I type 'exit' or 'win' to start Windows, I always get this: "You are currently running in MS-DOS mode. Do you want to return to normal mode, to run Windows applications again? Y or N." When I type "Y" or "enter", the start-process begins new: IBM Symbol/ "Loading Windows 95"/ Windows Logo/ "C:\Windows". I loaded the Master Boot File new, but nothing changed. The only way I found to start Windows is to break the start-process, when "Loading Windows 95" shows up and then go through the step-by-step-process. Windows starts, when I don�t load config.sys and autoexec.bat. When Windows ist started, I get an Info Box with this message: "Environment variable DMIDIR not set" and this error message: "BMSUBS32.dll is missing". Here is my Machine: Modell: IBM Aptiva L5H 233 MHZ Pentium II Processor 300 MIP Crystal Clear Audio Processor ATI 3D Rage Pro Graphics Accelerator 32 MB SDRAM 2MB SGRM Video Memory 4.2 GB Hard Drive 24x CD-Rom Drive K56 Flex Protocol Modem Here is my autoexec.bat file: @ECHO OFF SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\IBMTOOLS;C:\ LH MOUSE LH MSCDEX /D:IBMCD001 /L:G /M:8 IF EXIST C:\TOOLS_95\GUEST.EXE C:\TOOLS_95\GUEST.EXE SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4 IF EXIST C:\IBMTOOLS\DOSRET.MSG TYPE C:\IBMTOOLS\DOSRET.MSG REM REM THE FOLLOWING LINES HAVE BEEN CREATED BY WINDOWS.
