following steps:

- In the Open box, type system.ini, and
then click OK.
- In the [Boot] section of the System.ini file, locate the following
lines:
SYSTEM.DRV=ATMSYS.DRV
ATM.SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV
- Type a semicolon (;) at the beginning of both lines, for
example:
;SYSTEM.DRV=ATMSYS.DRV
;ATM.SYSTEM.DRV=SYSTEM.DRV
- Type the following line in the [Boot] section of the System.ini
file:
System.drv=System.drv
- On the File menu, click Save.
