1. Click Start, click Run type system.ini in the Open box, and then click OK.



2. In the [Boot] section, locate the following lines, and then type a semicolon (;) at the beginning of each line:




system.drv=atmsys.drv
atmsystem.drv=system.drv

3. In the [Boot] section of the System.ini file, type the following new line:




system.drv=system.drv

4. On the File menu, click Exit.
