CONFIG.SYS File to run DOS Programs with Win95


DeviceHigh=C:\Windows\Himem.sys
DeviceHigh=C:\SBCD\DRV\Sbide.sys /D:MSCD001 /P:170,15 /V
DeviceHigh=C:\Windows\Emm386.exe Auto

Notes:
1. All Windows Files are Win95
2. Line 1 Enables use of use of 64MB DIMM chips.  If you use the DOS versions of these files you will get false errors claiming the you have bad memory chips.
3. Line 2 is for the CD drive.  Mine is a Sound Blaster, fill in the information required to run your particular drive.
4. Line 3 is set to auto because I also run programs that require EMS memory.  If you do not set the parm to NOEMS.

AUTOEXEC.BAT File to run DOS Programs with WIN95.  Use with the matching CONFIG.SYS file and Reboot PC.

Loadhigh C:\Windows\Command\MSCDEX.exe /D:MSCD001 /V /M:8
Set Blaster=A220 I5 D1 T4
Set Sound16=C:\Sound16
Loadhigh C:\Sound16\Sndinit /b
Set mouse=C:\mouse
Loadhigh C:\Mouse\Mouse
Path C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Command;C:\Sound16;C:\Mouse;C:\
Loadhigh Keyb gr, ,C:\Windows\Command\Keyboard.sys

Notes:
1. This is the basic AUTOEXEC.BAT file that I use for running all DOS programs that do not run well in a Win95 DOS Window.  This includes my various compilers as well as ALL of my DOS based game programs.
2. The file listed above is an edited version of my actual file which contains lines and settings for running multiple operating systems as well as programs that are not games.
3. Line 1 loads the WIN95 version of MSCDEX with settings for MY CD drive.  Change the settings starting with /D to match your particular CD drive.
4. Lines 2 - 4 are the settings to run the setup program for my SoundBlaster Pro Clone soundcard.  Insert the lines required for your brand of sound card.
5. Lines 5 & 6 are the mouse driver settings.  I had to upgrade my mouse driver to run Silent Hunter.  If your have problems with the Courser hanging up in one corner of the initial screen and not moving, then you also need an upgrade.  Mine is now MS Mouse Version 8 or 9.  I'm not sure which since as long as the mouse works I don't bother to upgrade.
6. The listed path command is not needed UNLESS you also run other programs from those directories and don't want to specify the complete path each time.  As long as you include the complete path in each of the LOADHIGH and SET commands you do not need to include those paths in the PATH command and you can save a small amount of memory by not having a path command at all.  Some times this all the extra memory needed to make the program run.
7. The last line is only needed for those who are using a non-US keyboard, as I do.  I left it in the example because I know that we have several European users of this board.
