i guess once you've got your system.ini.file back go to start>run>type in msconfig>click ok this will take you to your sys.config.utility make sure you put a check mark in sys.ini.file and win.ini file. need to also make sure scan reg & sys.tray &anti virus are checked you need these every time the sys.boots. But i'm sure you know this by now.
