Ok, I got this computer from a friend of mine... When I try to start it up, I get this message:
While initializing device VFBACKUP: VFBACKUP could not load VFD.VXD. Please run setup again.
I found on the web somewhere how to get in there and do the attrib thing at the c:\ prompt
so I did that. Now I still get that same message when I try to start windows and on top of it, when I hit F4
to run dos, it says running previous dos or whatever it said before to get me to the c:\ prompt
but it won't continue. It just sits there saying that it's loading dos or whatever but it won't do anything else.
By the way, this is windows 95 on a rather old computer.
I think my roomate might have deleted a bunch of stuff to get it not to work so that I'd give it to him for parts.
Oh, and I have a windows 98 startup disk, I'm guessing that if I can erase what's on there, I could just pop that in?
Sorry, I'm not really good with this computer stuff, though I do follow directions well! :)
I thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
