I have a Toshiba Laptop that was given to me and when i boot up it boots in DOS. And i get two error messages saying, bad or missing c\dos\vresume.sys and error in config sys line 2. Can any one help?

Hi Rusty.

You don't mention what model Toshiba you have, but I found this. It explains how to add resume.sys to your system -

Here is the link for the resume file. Do you have OS2 on your system?

If this is not the file you need, the Toshiba website has customer support you can contact.

Take care,

"error in config sys line 2"

... well - what's in line 2 of your config.sys?

indeed a good question, what is in line nr 2 ?

and the sysfile missing: better start looking for it, in the easiest case, it is on your harddisk, but in a different location

The standard location for vresume.sys in
Toshiba DOS 5.0 is c:\dos. It is not
necessary for the operation of the computer.
It is for the sleep/awake operation. Howevew
with a computer that old the resume battery
is probably dead. I have three Toshiba 1800
an all those batteries are bad. What is
line 2 of the config.sys and what programs
are installed on the system? It may be
perfectly ok, except for the messages.

Count from the top and correct or take line two out of the CONFIG.SYS. C:\DOS\VRESUME.SYS is an AUTOEXEC.BAT line. Apparently there is a bad or missing VRESUME.SYS in the DOS directory.

i am observing a message on start of system config sys line2 do let me know what is to be done
