In article <33ef9ca6...@snews.intellisys.net>, j...@intel.net writes >THIS IS ACTUALLY A WIN 95 PROBLEM.. >FYI, WIN95/DOS IS DOS IN A WINDOWS BOX, NOT REAL DOS.. >SO TO GET REAL DOS, USE A BOOT DISK, OR SYSTEM COMMANDER, OR SOME >OTHER BOOT MANAGER. >JS >PS: IN DOS, THERE'S NO NEED TO HAVE BOTH DOS=UMB AND DOS=HIGH. >BETTER DOS=HIGH. >From the DOS command help file in MSDOS 6.22 UMB|NOUMB Specifies whether MS-DOS should manage upper memory blocks (UMBs) created by a UMB provider such as EMM386.EXE. The UMB parameter specifies that MS-DOS should manage UMBs, if they exist. The NOUMB parameter specifies that MS-DOS shoudl not manage UMBs. The default is NOUMB. HIGH|LOW Specifies whether MS-DOS should attempt to load a part of itself into the HMA (HIGH) or keep all of MS-DOS in conventional memory (LOW). The default setting is LOW. AS to *real* DOS are you sure you are not thinking of NT rather than Win95? -- -------------------------------------------------------------- David CL Francis E-Mail reply to <da...@dclf.demon.co.uk> --------------------------------------------------------------
