That is the config.sys file for an Emergency Boot Disk (EBD). It is not meant for
use when booting from the C: drive. Rename the c:\config.sys and c:\autoexec.bat files, to config.sy_ and autoexec.ba_ Exactly what are you trying to do?

I am hoping if I can fix this message every thing will fall into place You most likely need to do some 'cleanup' on your PC What is the exact error message you receive while having more than two operations running? How many programs do you have running? Don't know? Try this: Do a ctrl-alt-del to bring up the End Task box, how many programs does it show? List them and post back if you like. Upon first boot up, rt click on the My Computer icon and select Properties, and then Performance. What is the number after the System Resources line? How much ram do you have (should be listed on the General page on My Computer)? Did this problem just start? Did you just install any software? Are you trying to run something in the DOS mode (conventional memory is important here)? A couple of simple things that may help. Reboot the computer. Now delete the contents of C:\Windows\temp (leave the temp folder, just delete everything in it) Start,Settigs,Control Panel, and double click on Internet Options. Click on the Delete Files button and and then OK. Do the same thing, except check the 'Delete all offline content' and click OK. Ok you way out totally. Now empty you Recycled Bin. Reboot.

Rename the two files as I mentioned, and reboot.

There is no config.sys in the c:\ or autoexec.bat. on the

No.
As I said, the file you posted is the EBD file and should NOT be used with a normal Windows boot. Do NOT move or copy the files from the EBD folder....they are not being processed from there, which is how it should be. What you need to do is create a new blank config.sys file in the root of C:\, then add only the lines mentioned earlier, namely: DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE You can create it using Notepad, and save the new file in the root of C:\, with the name "config.sys", and be sure to include the quote marks! That will ensure the file is given the .sys extension instead of the .txt extension. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "slm" wrote in message ...
