204205 2003-12-30 10:07:00 O/S Win98 -- downloaded "AIDA32" but when installed it froze the system ( not once but thrice) at "scanning PCI Devices" ??? - what do i do now? (well i've already rebooted, but the problem hasn't gone away) - help please? jayal (1291)
204206 2003-12-30 11:36:00 You may have a registry problem run either norton utils or fix-it or system mechanic etc also spybot wouldnt hurt either kiwibeat (304)
204207 2003-12-30 21:14:00 still won't go past "scanning PCI Drivers" - what are they? - did a search through "find" but nothing and a Google search the same - ??? jayal (1291)
204208 2003-12-30 21:32:00 From the Aida32 FAQ page here (www.aida32.hu):

Q: AIDA32 locks the computer displaying "Scanning PCI Devices". Can I avoid this?
A: Remove the files AIDA32.SYS and AIDA32.VXD. By doing this you can ensure AIDA32 stability, and lose only minimum information (CPU multiplier and FSB, motherboard chipset information).

204209 2004-01-01 00:43:00 thanks JEN, bit've a trick here - if i can't install it, aahhhh! how can i delete those files? - am i missing something here? jayal (1291)
204210 2004-01-01 00:57:00 How do you run it like you said in original post? Usually, it is extracted to a folder, where you run the AIDA32.EXE file. In that same folder will be those files mentioned. Pheonix (280)
204211 2004-01-01 07:25:00 guess it was a bit vague - the result of the download is a "setup" file - during the setup process, with the screen showing "scanning PCI Devices", that's where it stops hence the frozen screen - it never gets to the stage where there's an .exe file - does that make sense? jayal (1291)
204212 2004-01-01 08:16:00 Try downloading the Zip file instead, and after extracting it to a folder, run the AIDA32.exe file. That way you can also follow the above instructions to delete the appropriate files. somebody (208)
204213 2004-01-01 09:51:00 thanks guys - JENC & SOMEBODY - gottim with the zip download - now up & running jayal (1291)
