Peterm...I do not have the start up disk anywhere. Is there somewhere where I can download it from? The error message that shows up now is the one that shows up everytime (except for that one time)....."Warning Windsows has detected a registry/configuration error. Use SCANREG to correct this error....blah blah.....The following file is missing or corrupted: C\Windows\IFSHLP.SYS"
