24992 2001-11-19 23:37:00 I recently added a SCSI controller card to my Compaq Pentium 233 running win95 and ever since I get this message on shutdown. The ENTER key does not work and I have to turn the power off to shut the PC down. Guest (0)
24993 2001-11-20 03:01:00 When you installed the scsi card, a device driver may have also been loaded into your config.sys file.
Open your config.sys file with a text editor and check to see that the scsi driver if any, appears before the memory manager line, device=c:\windows\emm386.exe.
If it appears after, then move it to above the emm386.exe line.
This will ensure that the driver gets loaded into conventional memory rather than upper memory, reducing the possibility of a memory conflict.
Another thing to try is putting a rem infront of the emm386 line to prevent it loading at all ie.
rem device=c:\windows\emm386.exe

but you may then get other memory problems. Check in Device Manager for any memory conflicts.

24994 2001-11-20 04:34:00 Does the SCSI card load its own BIOS extension? Does it work normally, apart from this windows problem? What make & model SCSI card? what device(s) does it drive? ... Guest (0)
