Computer problem: Some help please?

[Monster104]

I was just checking stuff on My Computer, when I saw this listed in the System Properties/Performance menu:

Compatibility mode paging reduces overall system performance.

And

Drive C is using MS-DOS compatability mode file system.

The following was in the Details box:

Windows was unable to identify a real-mode driver or memory-resident program loaded in your Config.sys or Autoexec.bat file. You will see another message that lists the name of the driver or program causing the problem.
Because Windows could not identify the driver or program, it has switched to MS-DOS compatibility mode to ensure the program will run. However, this decreases overall performance. To improve performance, remove the program or driver causing the problem, or contact its manufacturer for an upgraded version.

And

his problem often occurs on more than one drive. Usually it is caused by a driver listed in the Config.sys file that Windows does not recognize and that is related to the message Compatibility mode paging reduces overall system performance. If you see both messages, see the Help for the Compatibility mode paging reduces overall system performance message first.
If you only see the message Drive X is using an MS-DOS compatibility mode file system on one drive, that drive is using an MS-DOS compatibility (real-mode) driver, which may reduce that drive’s performance. Contact your hardware manufacturer to see if an updated driver is available for your drive. If not, the drive’s performance may be less than optimal, but you can still use it.

It says it may reduce the performance of my computer, but I haven’t noticed any lowered performance. This is also the first time this has ever happened to my computer.

Is there someone who can help me find out what is causing the problem and help me with a way to solve it (Other than formatting)?

Youre probably using a 16 bit file system & it wants a 32 bit system; but as you said, it don’t matter much.

Yeah, I’ve seen that a few times.

Normally, enabling 32-Bit Disk Access in the BIOS fixes it right up.

Sometimes, it doesn’t.
