Guest SGB Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Hi folks! My ol' computer has been locking up often lately. I reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. When it restarts it reads Microsoft IFS Driver. Pauses to do whatever, then I get the sign in screen. Any ideas? Thanks in advance all you wonderful peeps!

Guest Mart Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Re: Micrsoft IFS Driver This MS KB article covers a couple of IFS issues specific to WinMe and maybe it *might* point you in the right direction :- "Error Message: The Following File Is Missing or Corrupted: C:\Windows\Ifshlp.sys" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/258471/en-us Mart "SGB" <NoEmail@ThisAddress.com> wrote in message news:eclMR$VJIHA.1020@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi folks! > > My ol' computer has been locking up often lately. > I reboot with Ctrl-Alt-Delete. > When it restarts it reads Microsoft IFS Driver. > Pauses to do whatever, then I get the sign in screen. > > Any ideas? > > Thanks in advance all you wonderful peeps! > >
Guest SGB Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Re: Micrsoft IFS Driver Hey Mart & Harry, It does show an error message before or after rebooting. The computer just locks up. It only reads Microsoft IFS Driver at the top of the screen before the sign in screen. Do you think I should still try the things they suggest in the link below? THANK YOU!

Guest Mart Posted November 13, 2007 Posted November 13, 2007 Re: Micrsoft IFS Driver Although it reads "Microsoft IFS Driver" which is not exactly the error message in the article, it's difficult to determine the cause from here. There could be some other factors involved, see :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Installable_File_System in which case it probably has nothing to do with WinMe but more likely something that has been installed (or attempted) since WinMe was first installed. You may have to search your start-up axis in msconfig for clues for example, or other places (folders, files etc.) What happens if you start in Safe Mode? However, > Do you think I should still try the things they suggest in the link below? well, it certainly wouldn't do any harm. - And it would eliminate those potential issues outlined the KB article.

Guest SGB Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Re: Micrsoft IFS Driver Just a quick note to let you know, I have not ignored your suggestions. As soon as I can find the time, I will try to fix my computer glitch. I need to take care of a few other things which popped up right afterwards that require my attention before I can concentrate on tweaking with my ol' puter. I appreciate this group and do not want any of you to think elsewise. >>>HUGS<<<
