I have a bit of a problem... my laptop wont let me into Regular windows or Safe-Mode Windows be cause an IOSUBSYS error. However i can get into DOS.
It will go though its normal Boot up string, and then when its just about done loading windows, it comes up with a black screen and says the following:

"While initalizing device IOS
Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iossubsys sub directoy is currupted,
or the system is low on memory.

Please help me. I have tried everything!

Thanx a bunch,
Brad C.
