SYMPTOMS

When you restart your computer after you upgrade to Windows 98, you may receive the following Quarterdeck SpeedyROM version 1.0 error message:

CD-ROM cache acceleration file is invalid. It will be reconstructed.

Also, even though SpeedyROM offers to reconstruct this file, you may continue to receive the same error message whenever you restart your computer.


CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the your computer's Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) is configured to use the Fast Reboot feature.

NOTE: The BIOS in your computer may use a different name for the Fast Reboot feature, although the function of the feature may be the same, to restart your computer in a short amount of time.


RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, disable the Fast Reboot feature in your computer's BIOS. For information about how to do so, see the documentation included with your computer or motherboard, or consult the manufacturer of your computer.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is not caused by a problem in Windows 98, but may be caused by design changes in Windows 98.
