Booting Text Error

Fidelis

I installed new drivers for my Hercules GameSurround Fortissimo 2 yesterday. A series of problems occured e.g. windows locking while trying to detect the Joystick port from the card after restarting, but I *think* I resolved them.

Anyway, when I boot up the pc, these few lines of gobble-dee-gook appear. Where is says: C:\>Rem Shoot:... [pic]

Anyone know what's going on here?

For some reason it's trying to run your Autoexec.bat from inside windows. What version do you have?
Basically you need to remove the shortcut/reg entry calling it at startup. There are a number of ways to do this depending on the version of your OS.
Shortcuts -
Win9x
Check C:\Windows\Start menu\Programs\Startup , also C:\Windows\Profiles\(name)\Start menu\Programs\Startup if you use a login at the start.
Also run SYSEDIT and check the WIN.INI file LOAD and RUN lines.
Win2k/XP
C:\Documents and Settings\(name)\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Registry Win9x/Win2k+XP
Hkey Local Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run


Also, the pic shows it trying to load a Crystal driver. This is usually an onboard soundcard, did you have one and disable it? If so then you can also rename/delete C:\Autoexec.bat when you're done.

Click start - run - msconfig and seach for the entry, and remove it.

I'm using win98se. To take that pic, I ran the autoexec.bat file from the c:/ in windows explorer, just so I could show you guys the text that came up.

Yea, I have onboard sound but I'm pretty sure that it's disabled. I'll get rid of that Crystalware entry, thanks.
