Error received while booting:
"While initializing device ios:
error: an i/o subsytem driver failed to load.
either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt, or the system is low on memory."
This is a friends computer. He says it just started happening, no explanation. After I receive the error, ctl-alt-del will allow me to boot to windows 95 in safe mode only. Next time I shut down, same error. Viscious circle. This is an acer pentium 200, 32 megs ram, 4 gig drive, modem, printer. Any ideas? Any questions? Thanks for any help. Oh, also com1 was not working, I changed settings in the device manager, rebooted but com1 still showed problem. I REMOVED com1 in device manager, rebooted and still can only boot safe mode (and now win95 will not recognize com1 or try to install it). Huh!?
