Subject:	SCOUG-Help: Startup problem

I have about six items in my startup folder, and just recently I have
started getting error messages during bootup. For example, it might be
Pmfax that gives the error message or it might be Manyclip, or it might be
dhpstart (which does not give a message -- it just hangs).

The message is usually a Sys2020 -- "could not demand load the
applications's segment -- see Sys193". Sys193 says: "cannot be run in an
OS/2 session."

I don't know why this should start happening all of a sudden after years
of no problems.

What has changed recently? Well, for one thing, I replaced my SCSI CD
burner with an EIDE DVD burner. That seems to work OK. The error messages
started, however, while I was playing around with Daniatapi.flt.
Specificaly, I added parameters to the command to see if I could get the
drive to be recognized after boot up.

What I mean is that if RSJ is not loaded, the drive is seen after boot up.
If RSJ is loaded, the drive is seen only after it is "attached" by RSJ.
Dani says both will work if you add the parameter:

Daniatapi.flt /A:x /U:x /RSJ

I tried all combinations of 0 and 1 for the A and U parameters (ie: /A:1
/U:0) etc. But none worked. It was while testing this that the error
messages started to occur. I have now gone back to the plain daniatapi.flt
command without any parameters, but the error messages keep occurring
(which is why I think it may be just a coincidence).

I also wonder if my hard drive, which is old, may be starting to act up. I
don't have the SMART technology available with this mother board.

I would appreciate any suggestions for troubleshooting this.

Thanks,
Sandy
