Windows Forum / Windows 95 / March 2004Error Starting Program
Just recently my computer started behaving badly. Upon a fresh boot, the PC makes it past all the usual startup screens and I get to the Desktop. At this point the hour glass does not go away and eventually I get this error-> "There is not enough memory to start 011MHCMSFA.EXE". If I perform a <ctrl+alt+delete> I notice that Explorer is not responding- there is also a long list of stuff that sort of looks like the file I named above only without the extension. Is there something I can check? This is an older Gateway (75MHz) running 16MB RAM, Windows 95 and about 150MB space free on the hard drive (about 800MB). Thanks. You can do an up to date virus scan as that is a very strange name for an executable file. You can also see if you have a reference to such a file in Startup and remove it. The places Win9x uses to load at Startup: -the load= and run= lines in the win.ini, -the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI (.386 and .vxd files), -the Startup folder, C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp -the AllUsers folder C:\Windows\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup -the registry keys (in order of likeliness) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServicesOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Setup HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx (last one not Win95) ...Alan  SignatureAlan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win95.general.discussion, "Eomer" <anonymous@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >Just recently my computer started behaving badly.
