Using Win98SE. I want to extract the Highmem.sys file from my 98CD. Question: What is he exact syntax to do that?

I believe the file your looking for is 'Himem.sys'. Pop your windows CD into your drive and type: extract /l c:\windows\command d:\win98\base5.cab himem.sys that's if your drives are c: and d:

Oh ya, that will overwrite your current 'Himem.sys' in your 'Command' folder, if it's there. You can even just click on 'base5.cab' in your Windows Explorer, right click on 'himem.sys' and choose the destination folder.

The error message I get on boot is: Following file missing or corupt c:\windows\Highmem.sys There is an error on config.sys line 3 Emm386 not installed-xmsmanager not present Press any key when ready I have the himem.sys file loaded already. This is my config.sys file: DOS=HIGH DOS=UMB DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIGHMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.exe RAM DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000 any Ideas???

It's HIMEM.SYS not "HIGHMEM.SYS" *spelling counts* emm386.exe depends upon himem.sys being successfully loaded - correct your spelling and the error messages should.... disappear! btw - you can combine the DOS line: DOS=HIGH,UMB - makes no difference, just neater *g* 'later
