Hi.. I have tried unsuccessfully to remove anything from this screen.. actually there are more lines that appear now.. I had two before.. as I am a novice I think I am way over my head..
Here is the 1st line.. Verifying DMI Pool DATA API Controller 2 drivers detected.. and a whole list of other things.. Yikes.. Have I made a mess of things!! Hopefully someone out there will help me get this screen from totally appearing.. it is in MS-DOS.. I did go to the Scanreg.. and typed in the REM.. on a few lines.. but they show up as well.. sigh. Thanks for all the help..

If it give you any further information such as line number or file name, you can check this out and rem out the statement in either of those two files. Go to Start, Run and enter Sysedit and press return. This will bring up a number of windows, one of which is the autoexec and the second being the config.sys. If you have the information to change a line, just go to the head of it and enter REM with a space. This will turn that line to a remark and remove it from the boot process.
