Got a friend's old Toshiba laptop which has Windows 95 on
it. When you switch it on you get the following error
message while it is trying to load Windows:

While initializing device BIOS:
Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt,
or the system is low on memory.

It's got 32MB of memory which should be plenty for
running Win95 and I can't see where the problem is coming
from.

In safe mode, remove or temporarily disable the antivirus software (this
happens with some versions of McAfee), start sysedit and rem out everything
in config.sys and autoexec.bat (you can reenable 1 line at a time until you
find the problem).

Also do a defrag and scandisk.
