The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q133075 SYMPTOMS
Windows 95 may stop responding (hang) the first time it restarts after you
run Setup.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Adaptec AIC-6360 SCSI chip is disabled in
your computer's CMOS settings.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, disable the SCSI adapter in Device Manager. To do
so, follow these steps:
- Start Windows 95 in Safe mode.
- Use the right mouse button to click My Computer, then click Properties
on the menu that appears.
- On the Device Manager tab, double-click the SCSI Controller branch.
- Click the SCSI adapter, then click Properties.
- Click the Original Configuration check box to clear it, then click OK.
MORE INFORMATION
When the Adaptec AIC-6360 SCSI chip is disabled in the computer's CMOS
settings, Windows 95 detects the device but cannot detect that it has been
disabled. This causes the miniport drivers for the SCSI device to attempt
to load, and may cause the system to hang
