From system.ini -> [boot] oemfonts.fon=vga850.fon shell=Explorer.exe system.drv=system.drv drivers=mmsystem.dll power.drv user.exe=user.exe gdi.exe=gdi.exe sound.drv=mmsound.drv dibeng.drv=dibeng.dll comm.drv=comm.drv mouse.drv=mouse.drv keyboard.drv=keyboard.drv *DisplayFallback=0 fixedfon.fon=vgafix.fon fonts.fon=vgasys.fon 386Grabber=vgafull.3gr display.drv=pnpdrvr.drv

Reply: Hmmm, you sure know how to keep us in suspense! What is the message? Why do you think it wrote to S.ini instead of to the Windows Registry? Are you getting a s.ini error on boot? I assume (ass, u, me) that the program was freeware or something close. Possibly containing spyware. Or a virus, etc. Here is freeware you can trust, and which I use on every machine I work with: Ad-aware by lavasoft http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Unless I have guessed wrong (you give so much to work with) you need to download it, install it, and run it.

Reply: dibeng.drv=dibeng.dll causes a lot of conflict on win9x systems .. have a look at www.google.com i think in relation to your program install, your registry needs a good cleaning as well as junk files on pc. get REGCLEANER and SPACE ODYSSEY and your system will run faster .. :) trust me i have Millennium .. been using those on it for ages now, works gr8.
