I get the message during startup saying that I have a duplicated device listed in my system.ini file. With the device listed as a VCD (video controller??). Can you help me identify where the problem lies? Thanks in advance, Adam Here is a copy of my .ini file.

Adam, Type semi colon in front of indicated line.[386Enh] ebios=*ebios woafont=dosapp.fon mouse=*vmouse, msmouse.vxd device=*dynapage device=motvcd.vxd device=*vpd device=*int13 EMMExclude=C000-CFFF device=*vcd < THIS LINE keyboard=*vkd Al

I'm having the same problem as adam did, but my ini file says this for the [386Enh]: [386Enh] ebios=*ebios woafont=dosapp.fon mouse=*vmouse, msmouse.vxd device=*dynapage device=motvcd.vxd device=*vpd device=*int13 WPSLPT1=0 device=*vcd device=*enable keyboard=*vkd should I do the same thing that A1 told adam to do or what?

I'm working on a tech support case and so far, no one has been able to give me any advice on this. I've got a customer who is getting an error only when TTInitialSizes in NonWindowsApp in System.Ini is checked. Does ANYONE in this forsaken industry actually KNOW what the TTInitialSizes entry in System.Ini in Windows IS or DOES?

I encounter this problem too. Initialy, the windows give me error message, some kind like this: "found duplicated file = vcd". The message also ask me to remove the duplicated files, so this is what i did, i save the original "system.ini" as "system.bak", and then, i remove the line under [386Enh], device=motvcd.vxd, and i save the original system.ini. restart, no more problem, but i am not sure whether it's right solution or not. Any better solution? and anyone know what is 'device=motvcd.vxd' mean? Thanks.
