mr.mark From Langa letter link to a Microsoft article on Registry basics. microsoft.com "Norton Utilities If you intend to become a certified Registry guru, you must have Norton Utilities. It fills all the voids left by the Registry tools that come with Windows. You read about Norton Registry Editor in the preceding section and now know that it provides all the advanced features that a guru-in-training needs. It also contains a few other Registry programs that make the entire suite megabyte-worthy. Norton Rescue helps you start the computer in the event of system failure. It can even help you recover from startup problems that are caused by Registry errors. Registry Tracker isn't the sharpest program in the suite, but it does help you track changes to the Registry. Other programs, such as ConfigSafe, are better at this task. One of the most useful programs in the Norton suite is Norton WinDoctor, which helps you fix a host of Registry problems, including orphans. Finally, Norton Optimization Wizard helps you optimize the Registry, both logically and physically, with the aim of improving your computer's performance. " tc

mr mark, a small problem: yesterday I got the blue screen stack overflow message after boot on my laptop. It said minSP=5, so I went to system.ini and inserted minSP=8 at the beginning of the [386Enh] area. I did this from memory because it had been discussed here. Today I got the same warning, again saying 5 stacks were allocated. So I moved the statement to the end of the [386Enh] area. Here's what it looks like now... [386Enh] ebios=ebios woafont=dosapp.fon device=dynapage device=vcd device=vpd device=int13 device=enable keyboard=vkd display=vdd,vflatd mouse=vmouse MinPagingFileSize=196052 PagingDrive=C: MinSP=8 I have Win98SE, 600MHz PIII, 196 MB DRAM. The Norton doctor says Windows is OK. After the blue screen warning appears, I hit enter and continue without problems. Does anything come to mind? Don't spend much time on this. Gottfried
