In some DOS programs, it requiered a files more than default by windows (in config.sys files=120) but in windows Me I don't find the config.sys
HELP HELP HELP
 
windows ME wont have a config.sys file. your OK to create one though, quit to DOS and from the c:\ prompt type
EDIT CONFIG.SYS

this should load the v basic editor with a blank page, enter your files=120 command then exit and save ( alt+f+x)

WinME doesnt have realmode dos at all, the small prompt in windows is a crappy virtual console, it dosnt have much ability of the actual dos, it's one of the many reasons I dispise WinMe [sig]<p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.com>kb244@kb244.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in : C++(both VC++ and Borland),VB1(dos) thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, HTML, Visual InterDev 6(ASP(WebProgramming/Vbscript)<br>

Open MSCONFIG (Start|Run|msconfig). Go to the System.ini tab, then to the 386Enh section. Click on New and add the line PerMVFiles=XXX (XXX being the number of file handles you need upto 255) Click on Apply. The system will want to reboot and things should work. [sig][/sig]
