Booting Text Error

    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?
    Cheers,

    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.

    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.
