- Sounds like your system.ini is corrupted, have a look at it with a text
- editor, and correct any obvious mistakes (incorrect drivers, lines that
- shouldn't be there, etc).

- You can always unpack the default system.ini from your diskettes (I assume
- there is one on the service pack collection somewhere). Look up 'unpack' in
- the command reference.
