Troubleshooting in Windows 95/98

When I start Windows 95/98, the system locks up when the Windows

logo is displayed. How can I get the system to start so that I can verify

that the SCSI card is functioning normally?

Start or restart your computer.

(

For Windows 95:

) When the message “Starting Windows 95”

appears, press and release the

function key while the text is

on your screen.

(

For Windows 98:

) When the message “Starting Windows 98”

appears, press and release the

Ctrl

key while the text is on your

screen.

From the menu that is displayed, select

Safe Mode.

(It may

take several minutes for Windows 95/98 to load.)

If the system completes the boot to the desktop, the core soft-

ware is functional; resources, software conflicts, and/or hard-

ware need to be checked.

If the system still fails to boot, and the boot drive is connected

to an EIDE controller, shut down the system, remove the

Adaptec SCSI Card 39160, and restart the computer.

Verify that an IRQ is available by viewing resources in System

Properties.

Under the Control Panel, verify that the operating system is set

Optimal Performance

by checking the Performance tab

under System Properties. (Make sure you are not in Safe

Mode.)

How can I tell if the Adaptec SCSI Card 39160 driver is loading

properly?

Right click on the

My Computer

icon on the Windows

desktop.

Select

Properties

from the menu.

Click the

Device Manager

tab.
