Each time the system boots when starting the memory check the message Trend Chipway 1.62 appears. I'm running windows 98 first edition the one for new Pc's and this was not happening in the beginning. it appeared without warning. Is it a problem andor how do I get rid of it. It does not show up as a program file or during a Norton virus scan.

Thanks,

Wayne

If the message is appearing before the operating system boots, it is not being caused by the os. Trend Chipway is your brand of Mother Board. There may be a setting in the bios to display the MB name.

This is something controlled by the bios and has nothing to do with your OS.

It normally protected things like a boot record or memory (where so older viruses lived)

If you want to get rif of it go into the bios and disable it.

Trend chipway is a virus program built into your bios. It can be disabled there. At boot up hit delete key to get into the bios. Look around in the bios, I don't remember exactly where it is located but you can disable the virus protection in thebios. Sometimes it will interfere with installation of hardware as well. Anything new added?
Good luck!
