- Anyone,
- Let me apologise for my spelling up front, it is late and I am
- frustrated. I have a BIG problem and hope someone can help.
-
- My problem:
- I baught a 486dx/33Mhz from a company called D.C.P. (discount
- computer paradise) about 4 months ago. along with it came M.S.
- Windows and dos 5. About 3 weeks ago I started getting error messages
- saying that it was unable to read my "USER.EXE" file or it could not
- find my "HIMEM.SYS" file, and would then crash. A few days later, it
- started crashing when I tryed to load it (windows). I have tryed to
- re-install it about 7 times (plus 4 times tonight) and still it will
- not load. the only thing I can tell that is funny is, there is a
- 16 Meg swap file called "386spart.par" in my root directory, yes you
- read right, 16 Meg's. I have plenty of memory to run it (633 k
- standard w/ 4 Meg's total. I do not think it is my "autoexec.bat" or
- my "config.sys" files, I have tryed every possible combination I or
- anyone else in the Computer department could think of.
- To top it all off, today, I tryed to call the technical
- support line for D.C.P. and the opperator said that not only was their
- tech. support line _disconnected_, but so was their _pruchase line_.
-
- Any help, advice, sympathy, pity, or donations, would be
- greatly appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
