Dazzla Veteran Posted April 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2004 I'm trying to run a DOS program in windows where I'm presented with the image attached. I've tried adding: files=99 to config.sys but it doesn't do anything, is there anything in the XP property dialog for the shortcut that I can enable to make it work?

Mouton Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 try config.nt in c:\windows\system32\ if it doesn't help, try starting a command prompt and then starting the app in it.

John Veteran Posted April 27, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 27, 2004 Instead of using config.sys, use %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\CONFIG.NT (Y) See what happens then.
