How do you edit system.ini?
Edited on Fri Jun-03-05 02:08 PM by pie
Something called turbovcd.vxd (a driver for an unused modem) is
preventing Windows 98 from loading.
The computer says it is located in system.ini.

1. Click on start, then on run, then type sysedit and click OK
This will bring up all your system editable file ssuch as sytem.ini, autoexec.bat, etc.

Simply edit that file and get rid of the section regarding the turbovcd.vxd

You might have to boot in safe mode to do so.

2. You can do it in Msconfig ... here are the instructions
Click the START Button

Select RUN

Type MSCONFIG

Click on the SYSTEM.INI tab

Find the driver and click the checkbox to disable it

Click OK

Restart your computer

4. Use Wordpad
look for the line and Comment it out by putting this ; in front of the line.

You must have a really old computer to still be loading 16 bit drivers!
