Besides saying that you are screwed (probably are in the long run) you can try this... 1 - Boot to dos 2 - Search for any files that have a 'system" in thier name. You ar elooking fo ranything that coul dbe a backup copy (due to a recent install of something or file edit using a good utility - like systedit - from a recent date). Pay attention to file extensions like '.bak' '.syd - file was backed up by sysedit'. 3 - Copy this file back to system.ini (IE: copy system.syd system.ini) 4 - Try to restart into windows. This MIGHT work, but I highly recoment that you determine why you lost the file in the first place. This sounds either like someone was messing with you, or you, or you did something carless, or you had a virus. I had seen a virus in the past that places a 'del c:\windows\*.ini' in the autoexec.bat file so each time you boot up your ini files get deleted.

1. Format the PC 2. Reinstall a good (not from microsoft) OS 3. Enjoy

Please excuse my jumping in, but what type of OS would you advise? I've been trying to "replace" MS OS's for over 3+ years... and I'm still desperately seeking a system that does not have to be rebuilt simply to boot or properly shut down! My story is too long but I'm with you... IE: W95, 98, 98SE, ME and now XP! Even my ancient Mac 512SE has more up time than any of the previous... I keep it around just to retype and send snail mail when my other (7) MS boxes fail... at least I know it will still power up, print and power down without having to do some type of system file maintenance... I have 8 boxes (none networked) and on any given day, I can't guarantee a flawless session of composing and printing a document for my kid's school assignments... the answer to "where do you want to go today" usually means "crazy" for me... Anyone care to hear the whole story? I'm new to CP, and looking for serious low level help... Is there a forum for articles like "digital dancing with the devil"? I've dedicated myself to learning C, C++, pearl, Pascal, basic, and/or even (God forbid) assembly, simply to understand and fix the basic errors with (IBM compatible) power on, os boot, application Open, Save, Print and Close... and most importantly "safe" shutdown and power off! I shouldn't have to be a rocket scientist... For God sakes, I'm a DRAM fab engineer whose only real goal in life was to publish a music and video magazine (in color, one flaw of the 512 Mac SE)! 15 years later I’m still trying, and now I'd like to do it over the web... I never thought it would require the study and practical use of a bookshelf full of programming manuals… Maybe this should have been an article, and maybe this is not the right place to look for collaboration and help on my “PC” issues and website building desires… If not I apologize for my comments (and adding my $.02 worth) in agreement about MS… But I also want to thank CP for making problem code information and advise from professionals like you to the rest of us general public type persons… Nuff said… again, what OS do you suggest? My only chance in life is to develop an operating system compatible with the memory and BIOS of loved ones that have died before me… aps
