'R6009 Run Time Error'
When I shut down my pc from W98, The screen comes up with 'R6009 Run time error - press any key to continue'. On pressing any key, it will shut down as normal and, if you don't, it will shut down anyway after a pause of a minute or so. Not a huge problem, more a minor irritation. Can anyone tell me what this is all about and how to cure it please?

EVO7, thanks for that. Couldn't see anything as you describe on Aotoexec.bat, but I wasn't sure where exactly I should have been looking. The message on shutdown reads, more precisely. 'R6009 runtime error.......not enough space for environment' and only appeared after loading some fairly hefty games. I have plenty of memory etc. The message still appeared after I uninstalled all games etc.
Any further thoughts?

I had the error you're talking about when I installed a SB live card in my machine (hence my first guess). After a bit of hunting online I found that it could be caused by the SB dos emulation drivers, which can be started by a SBINIT command in autoexec.bat - removing that fixed it for me.
Can you take a look at Device Manager -> SBlive (whatever it is called!) -> Properties and see if DOS emulation gets enabled there? If it is then try turning it off and rebooting.
If that fails then let me know and I'll try and find the info I tracked down when I was having problems. It's out there somewhere...
