    Hmmm. I think I fixed it. I had to hack at your registry for a bit because a virus had caused a conflict between your mouse port and the UART in your CONFIG.SYS. It was real touch and go for a while there, but I managed to get it by converting your kernel from binary to hexadecimal and backending one of your IRQs into your BIOS.

    :laugh:

    It was quite possibly a virus, and for whatever reason explorer is no longer registered as the file browser, or something to that effect. Have you done a virus scan lately? I couldn't tell you exactly what registry key it would have changed.

    You can never tell just what the hell is going on in the Windows registry.
