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.
