Hi,
I've been trying to put a clean install on a friend's old P2 200 mmx system
that was all tangled up.
Here's what I did:
Backed up his data files
Booted with CD support from the startup disk
Formatted the C drive (that's the only drive)
And ran setup
Here's what happens:
It usually gets as far as the plug and play routine and then when it
re-boots if crashes with the following message:
Windows protection error, you must restart your computer
C:\windows\system\vmm32.VXD: missing unable to load
so I reboot with power off then on, and get this:
C:drive himem.sys has detected an unreliable XMS memory @ address 02000022
XMS driver not installed
Here's what I did: The first time I got this I removed the 128 meg stick of
memory from it, and replaced it with a 64 meg stick of Compaq memory. But
it does the same thing. I guess it's possible that both of the memory
sticks are bad, but I'm not so sure.
Any ideas will be much appreciated.
