Keywords: Windows Message-ID: <*6-%Y?#@rpi.edu> Date: 28 Aug 90 01:49:16 GMT Organization: Committee for Aesthetic Deletion Lines: 25 hi, i just recently upgraded by disk subsystem from a 40M st251-1 with a 2f/2hd Adaptek controller to an 80M st296n and a WD 7000-Fasst2 controller. my problem is that windows will not load properly with the new disk sub-system. windows seems to install correctly but won't run again after you exit installation. attempts to run produce a flurry of disk activity followed by the windows logo followed by more disk activity a video change mode, a little more disk then a return to dos prompt. btw, i have a logitech bus mouse that i've tried installing both as a microsoft mouse and as a logitech mouse, both worked during install. i've also tried running with and without smartdrv enabled but still no dice... if anyone out there has experienced similar problems and would like to offer commiseration :) or maybe a solution, a follow-up or email response would be appreciated... thanks -- respectfully yours, Gregory D.
