I got the same error message when booting up after I installed the beta of MS Project 2000. Adding the line, maxfilecache=6144 worked for me, as well.

maxfilecache=6144 worked for me as well. The message came up after installing Michael Hooligan's Guide to Your New House. Unfortunately the program won't run, but I think it's something else.

Same thing happened to me. I tried to delete the rmm.pdr file, but not I can't even load into safe mode! Please help me at least get into safe mode, or tell me how to edit the system.ini file from the command prompt.

Deleting or renaming smartdrv.exe did nothing for me because I didn't have it. The Maxfilecache did it for me. I was installing DSS Agent. Thank you very much!!! I love the internet!!!

THANK YOU. Tried the cache; looked for smartdrive in config and autoexec - not in either; tried renaming system and user dat and using the da0 files; all to no avail. Finally found the smartdrv file, deleted it and Walla problem fixed. Thanks to all loner@c-zone.net http://www.c-zone.net/loner

I had this problem, a friend went online, found your advice. I typed in maxfilecache=6144 to the system.ini file and it worked. I'm extremely grateful, as you all can imagine. Wonder how this happened? Came up after I installed an MP3/CD player...

I'm getting this error message after doing a clean install of Windows 98 second edition. It will not boot into safe mode, and I can not find smartdrv.exe in the windows directory. Any ideas? Please email me if you've seen this before. Thanks.

I tried them all, but the problem remains. I was trying to do defrag on a Windows 95 machine when this error came up. Is it possible that there is a virus???????
