Hi Jerry, it continues! On starting up to try your latest suggestions only "safe
mode" could be obtained. Working through " conflicts "in "Help", a number of items
were found to have duplicated as was previously the case when the keyboard problems
started. Removing the duplications allowed starting normally.
Now to your suggestions, under the Autoexec, there were 4 entries on the c drive,
example,-windows\temp>set NWLanguage=English, repeated 5 times. Inthe same listing
">REM- By windows95 network for network upgrade". No sign of ANSI. sys.
On the Config sys search, file \temp , contained the detail;-" REM DEVICE=cd1.sys/D:banana/P:1fo,
"with a number of suffix entries. A further entry in this file was , "DEVICE= HIMEM.SYS/testmem:off".
Again no ANSI. Sys, entry.
I do have a "Dosstart.bat" file, the only entry i can get in this is, "another driver
present, please remove it and try to reinstall", A very polite request but Icould
not find a driver it was refering too. All the foregoing discovery does suggest
to my non expert mind that the problem is a system difficulty rather than hardware,
what do you think?
Thanks and regards ,Paul.
