It works flawlessly with me! In case anyone else is having the issue.

ran msconfig from the Run menu, selected system.ini, expanded the "boot" folder, then noticed that the system.drv=****** was different on the two systems. The working computer said system.drv=system.drv, and the non-working system said system.drv=atmsys.drv or something like that. I searched for the file, checked its properties finding it to be an adobe file. I edited the entry to read system.drv=system.drv, rebooted then everything worked fine. I don't know what side effects will result with adobe programs.
