SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows 95 on a Zenith ZDS 1762 laptop computer, the
computer may stop responding (hang) while Windows 95 is processing the
Config.sys file.
CAUSE
This problem can occur if Pcenable.exe (Zenith's PCMCIA driver) is loaded
before Mztinit.sys (Zenith's Mozart sound system driver) in the Config.sys
file. When this occurs, Pcenable.exe installs a hook for IRQ 7, which
Mztinit.sys also tries to use.
RESOLUTION
Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Config.sys file. Move the
"device=mztinit.sys" line so that it is before any PCMCIA drivers. After
you make this change, save and then close the Config.sys file, and then
restart your computer.
