    Cool

    Have you tried editing the autoexec.bat file to increase the FILES= statement. It used to work back in the DOS days.

    check your autoexec.bat to see what it's loading. add a REM in front of the stuff that you don't want it to load, or hit the F8 key as the machine is starting up and select a step by step boot. that way you can see what it loads before it errors and add the REM in front of that line.
