EMM 386 Not Installed XMS Mgr. Not presetn
:( I get a message as follows: EMM 386 Not Installed XMS Manager Not Present Press Any Key to continue.
At the same time this occurred, My Atapi CD-Rom and secondary hard drive disappeared. Internet Explorer and Outlook Express will connect through my ISP but I get This Page Cannot Be displayed and Cannot poll for messages. Would it be best to format my C drive and start from scratch. I've tried uninstalling OE and IE but that gets me no where. Please help, about ready the trash the thing. No viruses are detected and my subscription is up to date.
I've already reinstalled WIN98 and a partial restore
Thanks for the replies. I've already ran reinstll of Win98 and done a partial restore to see if that fixes the problem. No new programs were installed when this problem occurred. I will uninstall Norton today and see if I can get my definitions updated so I can scan for opasrv virus.
I'll try to get the autoexec.bat and config.sys file contents posted later today.

Can't get my Norton to recognize my internet connection to update my subscriptions. Re-installed Norton and can't get it to recognize that I'm connected to my ISP.
IE and OE says Page Cannot be displayed and cannot poll for messages.

The problem was that HIMEM.SYS (the XMS manager EMM386.EXE requires) was REMmed out. Remove the REM TShoot: DEVICE=D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS and replace it with DEVICE=D:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS or DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS, depending on which directory actually contains HIMEM.SYS.
Formatted C, D drive still not recognized
I simply got tired of nothing working so I formatted the C drive and used my HP Simple backup. Everything looks good now with the exception of my D drive still not being recognized. I use it for backup of documents and photos. How can I get the drive to be recognized. Step by step instructions would be great. I renamed my HP CDRW drive to E.
Thanks for all of your suggestions and I will look to see that the HIMEM config is set properly.:p
D Drive is back, cable problem
I took the computer apart, cleaned it and disconnected the cable from the Atapi CD Rom but left it connected to my secondary drive D. Started up several times and the D drive was there everytime. The connection to the Atapi cd rom was bad. All seems to be working properly so far. Good thing we have the laptop to use or I would have really been in trouble.
Thanks for all your help.:cool:
