Original Problem Posted by: DICK on 05/06/1999 Follow up BILL 5/04 [query: where do you imput text to create a proper followup in this system?] I ran the System Information file check as you suggested but it turned up no changed or missing files. However, in using the left-side window to display system information, Hardware Resources and Components displayed properly, whereas Software Enviornment failed to display and reported: "The component which displays this information is not functioning properly, or is not present." Is there somewhere that I can identify this missing component? Added info on my problem: the error message appearing in boot up occurs just prior to STARTUP implementation. Immediately after the message, 4 icons appear in the left task tray and the boot up is complete. It appears that the reported error and the failure of the STARTUP procedure are connected.
