I'm guessing [HIDE]A) IO.sys[/HIDE]

But it is a guess.

[HIDE]What is LOGOS.SYS? is this just a fake file added in for the sake of it?[/HIDE]

 

[HIDE]Hm - I've heard that this can be caused by a bad logo file, so I'll go for that. Option B.[/HIDE]

Harry.

 

Not so sure but i'll go

[HIDE]B). LOGOS.SYS[/HIDE]

Thought I had this problem the other day turned out to be an ISA Nic card.

 

Just a guess but I am saying [HIDE]A[/HIDE]

 

Hmmm...

[HIDE]D: system.dat[/HIDE] ???

 

[HIDE]I will guess the answer is "B" Logos.sys[/HIDE]

 

going for [HIDE]B[/HIDE]

 

Complete guess but is it [HIDE]B: LOGOS[/HIDE]

 

[hide]total guess: A.[/hide]

 

well heres my first guess.....havent got a clue really [HIDE]C[/HIDE]

 

Hmm ... Methinks
[hide]B - LOGOS.SYS[/hide]

Off to see if Myers knows the answer

 

[HIDE]Well I am not sure but I think, from memory Logos.sys is the actual screen image that says "It's now safe to bla bla" I remember changing the wording in paint once.

So, maybe what Boyce is saying is that if you re-name this file the OS will halt because it won't find it but I am at a loss as to how it would help diagnose a hang.

Also, one questions whether this is a hang. The OS has shut down and it is now safe to turn off. Hmmm, I would have been happy with that prior to ATX systems.

Answer B [/HIDE]

 

[HIDE]A) IO.SYS[/HIDE]

 

Eh? [HIDE]Thinking win 95 thingies, I'll stab at C[/HIDE]

 

Well done to everyone who said B

 

dont know. is it A
