Cannot Find SYSTEM.INI After Omar Sharif Bridge Installation (129149)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q129149 SYMPTOMS
During the installation of Omar Sharif Bridge, the Setup program restarts
your computer. When Windows 95 is restarting, it reports the following
error:
Cannot find SYSTEM.INI.
You need to run Windows Setup again to install the file.
Press any key to continue.
CAUSE
The Setup program for Omar Sharif Bridge cannot handle a System.ini file
that contains lines with more than 78 characters properly. The Setup
program tries to modify the System.ini file after creating a backup file,
but fails to create a new System.ini file.
RESOLUTION
You can restore the backup copy of the System.ini file that the Omar
Sharif Bridge Setup program created. To do so, follow these steps:
- Restart your computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 95" message,
press the F8 key.
- Choose Safe Mode Command Prompt Only, and then press ENTER.
- Type the following command
copy <drive>:\<windows>\system.old <drive>:\<windows>\system.ini
where <drive> is the drive containing Windows 95 and <windows> is the
Windows 95 folder. For example, if Windows 95 is installed in the
Windows folder on drive C, type the following line:
copy c:\windows\system.old c:\windows\system.ini
- Use any text editor (such as Edit.com) to add the following line to
the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file if it does not already
exist:
device=c:\omar_win\vrsd.386
- Save the System.ini file and then exit the text editor.
- Restart your computer.
MORE INFORMATION
The error message stated above occurs if both the System.ini and the
System.cb files are missing from the Windows folder.
