Config.sys error

[jander01]

I loaded Tweakui and then tweaked my system. When I rebooted the start up screen had this line: "Config.sys has an error in line 2." Below is what is in the config.sys window. What is wrong with line 2. I haven't a clue!

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
For 1st Boot - DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE


Thanks mucho!

I just looked at the config.sys window in my installation of Win 98se. It is blank. I don't know if there are supposed to be any entries there or not. In the past this is where initialize entries for viruses have set up on other systems I have used. You would be best to wait for a reply from someone more knowledgeable.

the line should read like this:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS

your'e running win98, unless you are running older dos based programs you shouldn't need expanded memory.

Actually the error is:

For 1st Boot -

As said just delete everything in your config.sys as Windows does not use it. (it actually loads one as part of the io.sys file.

If your uneasy about deleting then type in

REM in front of each line

then save it, REM= Remarks, so any command is ignored.

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS can be used with or without NOEMS

The EMM386 line loads the Extended memory manager, however ,note that some MS-DOS games have problems with Extended memory and will not run without the NOEMS statement.
