Title: I/O  subsystem driver
Post by: Suegeeeee on November 30, 2005, 07:15:42 PM

HELP!!!

Yes, of course I deleted the wrong things!!  I really thought I was careful on my laptop.  So, I cleaned some things up and obviously screwed up.  

Error message:

While initializing device IOS:
Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.  Either a file in the .\iosubsys sbdirectory is corrupt, or the system is low on memory.  

Somewhere in my trying to solve this, I got something about himem something.  

I have the windows 98 disc, if that helps.  If I have to, I realize I may have to start over.

How do I reload a driver?  Or is that remedied if I reload win 98?

But, please help if possible!!

Thanks,

Sue

If you went crazy deleting things, then a reinstall will solve it. Lesson learned? If it is a hardware problem, this will not matter.
