Friends,
I desperately need some help. I am posting this on my old laptop
because I cannot get my primary Dell desktop computer to bootup when
turning it on this afternoon. Was working fine when I shut it down
last night. Here is the problem:
When I turn the computer on (running Windows 95a) I get to the
Windows 95 logo window after which I keep getting the message:
While initializing device IOS:
Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt, or the
the system is low on memory.
I cannot even get it to startup in Safe Mode, but somehow, which I
have no idea what I did, I was able to get to some BioFix screen and
eventually, as only a novice idiot like me could do, I kept franickly
hitting keys until I am now to a black screen with a lot of
information with the last lines stating:
HIMEM.SYS is missing.
Make sure that the file is in your Windows directory.
C:\>
I have no clue what, if anything, I should type after this prompt as
I am a true novice and am totally lost here. Please help me!
Thank you.
Larry
