Re: config.sys and windows protection error
Just to be sure....this is EVERYTHING in your autoexec.bat file:
rem - By Windows 98 Network - C:\WINDOWS\net start
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM
and your Config.sys file:
rem buffer=80
files=200
stacks-12,256
device= c:\windows\himem.sys
device= c:\windows\EMM386.EXE
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe
Correct?
You are getting a Windows Protection error "sometimes", and you say when you go to
msconfig, select Selective Startup and un-check the autoexec.bat and config.sys, on
the General tab, and click OK, you *cannot* restart the computer??
What happens when you do that, exactly? Your statement that is "doesn't result in
restarting" really doesn't tell me anything.
Happy Thanksgiving!
