i loaded up my computer this mornin and it said some files were missing or corrupt,
himem.sys
dblbuff.sys
and ifshlp.sys
so i copied the from my other computer, but it still doesnt work so i am confined to msdos. When i boot my computer it gets to the second windows screen and then resets itself and keeps going through... so any ideas?

yeah i saw that but where did you put them? not sure if the PC will search for the files although most times i've put files in random folders and they've been found automatically.

A)C) I copied the missing files from my second PC and put them onto the bust one.
B)The comp wouldn't start normally so i started in SafeMode, but dont really know what to do. It doesn't matter now, read my last post.

doesn't that mess your files up? I would imagine it's a good idea though, although maybe a last resort idea... it might be over doing it.

Hope there's nothing unsavoury on your hard drive! The name Gary Glitter springs to mind :)

I just remembered the PC is still within it's warranty period, so i'll pop up to PC World. Could someone tell me how to re-install windows in MSDOS and In windows, for future reference. Thanks
a) how are you talking to us now? i'm guessing you've got a 2nd PC
b) did you start up in 'safe mode' you said you had it but I don't think you said much more than that.
c) don't re-install Windows :D put the missing filenames into Google and see what they're for or what directory they should be in.

Nope. It'll just install Windows over your old setup and correct any errors. It won't delete anything, just correct things so your pc will run again.
It takes about 30 minutes. I've done it three times.
