I have had this problem with a Compaq ARMADA With windows 95. I got BAD advice on another forum that actually pretains to windows 98. Now I have this brick because I tried the original INSTALLATION CD but it is schratched. I tried finding this file before but could not remeber which file or where it was located. But after much time looking I have found it.;

I found it!!!!!

C:\>Windows\System\Iosuwrong <<<<<<< WRONG !!!!

Should be C:\>Windows\System\Iosubsys


How can we change this file name? That is all I have to do and then it will work again!?

I will be staying up for any advice. Thanks to everyone that has helped with this so far.

Okay I found on this site the rename function avalible in MS-DOS windows 95

But I want to make sure I wll not lose my files in the FOLDER to be renamed and I want to make sure the "code looks good"


RENAME [drive:][path][directoryname1 | filename1] [directoryname2 | filename2]


Rendame [c][system][Iosuwron~1] [Iosubsys]You could just copy the file -

CD /D C:\Windows\System
Copy Iosuwrong Iosubsys

are you sure the file doesnt have an extension ??
GrahamSuccess I changed to the directory that the file was located in and used the ren funtion (I found instructions on this site).

This was all good but Win95 wouldn't run any of the adapters I had to connect to the internet. So I took an old copy of windows 98 and tried to install it from windows 95 it worked for a while but my windows 98 cd is scratched and I can only get the COMPUTER to boot in safe mode now. Back to square one
