EBIOS
The extended BIOS driver did not find an extended BIOS, so it does not load.
NDIS2SUP.VXD
The NDIS 2 support driver did not find any NDIS 2 drivers to support, so it does not load.
VPOWERD
The Advanced Power Management (APM) driver determined that your computer does not support APM, so it does not load, or APM
support may be disabled. To determine if you have inadvertently disabled APM in Device Manager, follow these steps:
In Control Panel, double-click System.
Click the Device Manager tab. Double-click the System Devices branch to expand it. Double-click the Advanced Power Management
Support branch. (If this branch does not exist, your computer does not support APM.) Click the Settings tab. Verify that the Enable
Power Management Support check box is selected.
VSERVER.VXD
Vserver.vxd does not load statically so that it can save memory by loading later in the boot process only if it is needed. For
example, Vserver.vxd might not be needed when you start a laptop computer while it is out of its docking station.
VSHARE
If you examine the Bootlog.txt file, you will notice that VSHARE loaded successfully earlier in the boot process. The second copy of
VSHARE detects that VSHARE is already loaded and does not load.
FONT FAILURES
When Font Manager searches the hard disk for fonts, it may find shortcuts in the fonts folder (C:\WINDOWS\FONTS), which point to
font files (e.g., TTF files) which are in the fonts folder already. The solution is to remove those font shortcuts from the fonts folder.
INITCOMPLETEFAILED=SDVXD
Windows 95/98 automatically loads a miniature disk cache to increase the speed of the boot process. When the boot process is
complete, the miniature disk cache is unloaded from memory. When it is unloaded, the above line is added to the Bootlog.txt file to
indicate that the miniature disk cache has been removed from memory.
This next part is normal behaviour...
SYSCRITINITFAILED=JAVASUP
The Java Support driver is not needed on your computer, so it did not load. Java is a programming language used on the World
Wide Web (WWW). Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 3.0 and later include a Java subsystem.
DEVICEINITFAILED=MTRR
Memory Type Range Registers (MTRR) is a .vxd file responsible for manipulating memory ranges. This file is loaded with DirectX
5.0, however, none of the DirectX core components use the service provided by MTRR. However, NTKERN and some display drivers
do use the service provided by MTRR to change memory ranges.
27. Case of filenames
Stop Windows from changing the case of your filenames to upper or lower case and have them changed to how they are bloody
typed in! Start regedit.exe.
-----Begin cut & paste here-----
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"DontPrettyPath"=dword:00000001
------End cut & paste here------
Set the value to 1 to keep the case as you type it or 0 to adjust the case as Explorer requires.
Click OK. Close regedit.
28. Defrag the registrys hive files
I do NOT recommend performing this tip on Windows 95 - only on Windows 98. If using this tip on Windows 95 than you will more
than likely get a corrupt registry so don't do it on Windows 95!
What we are going to do is compact the registry. This process can take up to a couple of hours to perform so only do it if you can
spare the time. Before you perform this option I suggest you run Microsofts RegClean (see programs I recommend further down
this file). Regclean doesnt actually take the entries out of the registry but marks them as not being used anymore. Basically we are
going to export the registry into one big file and import it again and it MUST be done in these steps !
a - Run Microsofts RegClean program
b - Boot up in pure dos mode, using a bootdisc (do not use restart in dos mode on shutdown)
Or press 'F8' at startup and boot the computer to a command prompt.
c - Type 'smartdrv.exe 2048 16' - this will speed up copying.
d - In pure dos mode type 'regedit /e c:\export.reg'
(Will take some time- the e switch exports the registry)
e - Rename the existing registry files e.g.
rename c:\windows\classes.dat _classes.dat
rename c:\windows\user.dat _user.dat
rename c:\windows\system.dat _system.dat
f - Type 'regedit /c c:\export.reg' (Will take some time - the c switch condenses the registry)
