50377	2002-05-23 11:44:00	It's more likely that the message at boot-up reads: 'Verifying DMI Pool Data...' This is ok, you don't have a problem. DMI = Desktop Management Interface. Cheers	Guest (0)

The 'verifying dmi pool data' message is the last message from the BIOS before booting from the hard drive. I get that message every time I boot,thats why I said it was not a problem, it's not an error message per se. If your computer freezes, then you DO have a problem, could be in BIOS, boot sector, etc Type that message into Google and you will find lots of info. DPMI is completely different, = DOS Protected Mode Interface	Guest (0)
