Troubleshooting in Windows 95
When I start Windows 95, the system locks up when the Windows logo
is displayed. How can I get the system to start so that I can verify the
SCSI card is functioning normally?
1
Start or restart your computer. View the messages that appear
onscreen.
2
When the message
“Starting Windows 95”
appears, press and
release the F8 function key while the text is on your screen.
3
From the menu displayed, select Safe Mode. (It may take sev-
eral minutes for Windows 95 to load.)
4
Verify the SCSI Card 1505 software driver is loading properly
(see below).
How can I tell if the SCSI Card 1505 software driver is loading
properly?
1
Click the Start button, point to Settings, then click Control
Panel
.
2
Double-click the System icon.
3
Click the Device Manager tab.
4
Double-click the SCSI Controller icon. The driver for the SCSI
Card 1505 is listed as
“Adaptec AVA-1505 SCSI Host Adapter.”
■
If the driver is listed, the SCSI Card 1505 driver is loading
properly.

If the driver is listed but has an exclamation mark inside a
yellow circle, the software driver may be in conflict with
other hardware using the same resources. Double-click the
icon to see the device status and possible solutions.
