Whenever I start up my ME system I get an
automatic scan disk with the message
"Improper shutdown detected".

A while back I applied the longest delay from
Windows/INF/QFE and that appeared to have
cured the problem.

However it's back.

I know there was something somewhere about
a mod to change the Autoscan line to zero in the
msdos.sys file options but my options only contain:-

[Options]
BootMulti=0
BootGUI=1
DoubleBuffer=1

and there is a problem re the size of msdos.sys.

Any help gratefully received.
