188 If Something Goes Wrong Windows Millennium Edition is not working Windows Millennium Edition uses a file called Io.sys, which contains all the information needed to start the computer. Although your computer does not need the Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files to start, it does process these files to support backward compatibility with some programs and device drivers. The same holds true for the System.ini and Win.ini files. TECHNICAL NOTE: Programs and devices that are backward compatible are designed to work with older operating systems and other programs. For example, many features of Windows Millennium Edition are backward compatible with earlier versions of Windows. This lets you use older programs with Windows Millennium Edition. Most of the information contained in these files is now stored in the Windows Millennium Edition Registry. However, they are still processed during system startup. Bootlog.txt file contains a record of all the components and drivers loaded during startup and the status of each. When you select Step-by-step confirmation, you can view all these files one line at a time to help diagnose the cause of a problem. Internet problems My Internet connection is very slow. Many factors contribute to the speed with which you can surf the Internet. They include: modem speed, time of day (when everyone else is surfing, your access can be slow) and popularity of the site. If accessing a particular site is very slow, try again later.
