SysTray.exe causes reboot

Recently I reparticioned my drives using ParticionMagic. After a few hassles getting CD drives recognised I now have the machine working, except that I have had to disable SysTray.exe from startup. Otherwise the machine starts and gets to desktop stage with icons displayed etc before it reboots.
Also, if I make changes such as setting Multimedia control to display the volume 'speaker' icon in the tray the machine reboots.
I reloaded systray.exe off the Win98 CD but it didn't help.

If you are partitioning just for the SAKE of partitioning, I ask why. If you are running Multiple OS's then yes, I could see why. The more you partition your drive, the more problems you run into... if you're doing Multiple OS's then you don't NEED to partition at all... I believe ZDNet had a magazine out a while ago about running NT4/NT5(possibly at the time)/Win3.1/Dos 6.22/Win95/Win98 all on the same drive, no partitions... if you want more info, I can dig up the article...

Hi Jeremy, I'm only running Win98, the repartition was a matter of organising my 2 HDD (one FAT32 the other FAT16). Without going into details, it was a neccessary evil.

Jeremy...I'd love the article on the single partition multi OS. On the systray...who needs it get rid of that puppy. I boot so Explorer is the only thing running on 98SE and it runs great that way.
