While I did have TI Connect installed previously, it’s now uninstalled and I’m still getting the error. I’ll run a search for ticalc.sys.. nope, it doesn’t exist on my system. Weird.



okay, this thread is old, but i got the same problem. i ve got no ati hardware and any ti-software uninstalled. there is no ticalc.sys on my system, but everytime my system halts on startup, i get the above error report …
I have the same problem…if you go to WINDOWS/system32/drivers, you’ll probably find ticalc.sys.
I renamed it to ticalc.sys.OFF to see if it helps…
We’ll see if it works..
Same problem.
TI was installed, but it never worked.
I have WinXP Pro & ATI Radeon.
Anybody have any luck?
