Mine was the system.ini, too.But it was clean sweep that coaxed me into it. :+ Being new to pc's and curious about what was in the file system and wanting to save space on my 540 mb drive, I thought it was ok to delete what i thought was a duplicate system.ini. BSOD. I tried to get it going but new very little. It was weeks before my pc was up and running. It ended up at the shop. Who can afford those kind of mistakes. That's when I decided I'd better learn to do these things myself or I'd be without my pc the next time.I was using Win95 and thought it a good idea to learn something about ms-dos,which turned out to be pretty interesting. :-) And the pc is the most interesting hobby I've ever had.
