pav temporary files problem

Thanks for the solution but I'll be able to work on it only when the Startup
Disk is created. Any possible simple solution? TIA.

Fair enough.....

Boot to DOS using your startup floppy (Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs
| Startup DIsk)

at the A: prompt type

DELTREE C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

when it asks for confirmation make SURE that you've got it right!!!
type "y", and hit the return key - then wait for a while (about 30 minutes,
possibly!!)

When control returns to the a:\> prompt, remove the floppy, and reboot to
Windows - it will recreate the TEMP folder as an empty one - hopefully
solving your problem.

... Well, the pav files are in C:\windows\TEMP.

... Sorry, I havn't tried deleting them from DOS boot using a startup
floppy
because I'm not aware of the startup floppy nor the procedure for deleting
from DOS boot.

Have you tried deleting them from a DOS boot using a startup floppy?

If you can't create a Startup disk using Add/Remove Programs, then download
a diskmaker from www.bootdisk.com (the Win ME OEM one), run it to create the
floppy, and then use that to boot the machine.
