Tosbiba T2100SC Boot Up Problem
It runs on Windows 95, pre installed. there is a Win95 directory on the Laptop. I do have win98 on CD, but the T210SC only takes floppies.
All was well, until I loaded an old KSP.exe directory, and was running it. It is an old dos speadsheet - a lotus clone I think.
It was running in a window, when every thing froze, as I went to re-save the sheet. (4 little coloured rectangles appeared on the screen as well.) Alt-Control-Del, nor any other of many combinations would work to close it down)
When I restart, it does not go through any of the customary procedure, but goes straight to this page/screen (i.e. the open page of the spreadsheet) - even the time on the tool bar is frozen.
I have tried other start-up disks, Win95A and B, but no luck there. When a disk is already in A: drive, it does not stop, but still starts up by going straight to this frozen page, without telling to 'remove the disk' or anything like that.
I did a virus check of my old KSP disk - but nothing was detected by AVG.
the problem first occured on 13th October,at approx. 9:30pm.
I once knew a little dos - is there a way of getting to the computer, and perhaps deleting the KSP directory and/or something else.
Thankyou for your time, and may I add that I do really enjoy your Monday morning radio program.
Regards,
