I am trying to fix a computer that I had windows 3.1 on before, the computer crashed and I reinstalled windows 6.2 I can install windows 3 but would like windows 3.1, when I try I get the message no avialable extended memory found xms driver not installed. but I have installed it before any suggestions to what I am doing wrong thanks

Add these lines to the associated files... -----[Config.sys]----- Device=C:\Dos\Himem.sys Devicehigh=any other device you were loading as Device= before - such as CD-ROM drivers Dos=High,Umb ----[Autoexec.bat]---- C:\Dos\Emm86.exe I think there are some switches on emm386 but it's been a long day and I am tired. Someone else will come along and correct me wherever I am wrong...don't worry. :)

Oh, just to prevent any smart-as- remarks from JR, she means DOS 6.2 where she says Windows 6.2. I know that you are incredibly perfect and never make such mistakes, so I am sparing you the trouble of reading such a mistake without someone having corrected it.

Where DoMMsdAY typed ----[Autoexec.bat]---- C:\Dos\Emm86.exe he really ment C:\Dos\Emm386.exe

There is a more serious typo in DoOMsdAY post. As a matter of fact you need to install Emm386.exe in Config.sys. So it must read actually: -----[Config.sys]----- Dos=High,Umb Device=C:\Dos\Himem.sys Device=c:\Dos\Emm386.exe NOEMS Devicehigh=any other device you were loading as Device= before - such as CD-ROM drivers You can use RAM switch instead of NOEMS if you want to have EMS memory along with UMB (Upper Memory Block). Without NOEMS or RAM switch there is no points to use Devicehigh command because you don't have UMB without them anyway. Good luck, Igor

Who is a smart-as now!

I DIDN'T POST THAT! And I wasn't going to complain about anything else either!
