help! I changed the undelete method, deleated the files in the Sentry folder and the next thing I knew I was missing windows files. I then went searching through the windows directory and found win386.exe. I clicked it and windows loaded the logo, background and in a flash there was a black screen which said error loading progman.exe. then I was back at C:>WINDOWS\ Is the problem in win.ini or system.ini? what do I need to change/add/rename/do? I tried to fix it by reinstalling windows3.1 but it didn't help...can you?
What are your machine specs? If reinstalling windows doesn't fix it then its some other problem i.e. hardware.
