I hope I've got these attributions right. In the original query, novmondo@solar.sky.net said >>>Nothing has helped, I still get just the logo, then thhe DOS prompt on >>>the first machine. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks! and then dsadites@mcd.on.ca (Dean Sadites) suggested, among other things, >>I've also seen this occur if an EMM conflict exists. If >>'DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE' is present, try commenting it out (by >>placing a semi-colon or 'rem' in front of it). If this solves the >>problem, you may need to specify memory range exclusions on the EMM386 >>line in CONFIG.SYS that correspond to address space that might be >needed >>by adapters installed in the computer. If this is the case, you may >also >>need to add an 'EmmExclude=' line under the [386Enh] section of your >>SYSTEM.INI file. I just wanted to add that if EMM386 seems to be related to the problem, you might have the problem I had: the STEALTH_C virus. My symptom was that if anything was loaded into upper memory, Windows would show the logo, then drop out to the DOS prompt. Also, 32-bit file access was broken. Cleaning the virus off my system removed both problems. It wouldn't hurt to run a virus scanner in any case.
