Eddy:What is the error message exactly?
Line (XX) >
" ...is corrupt or cannot be found "(Thanks for your interest , any info. will be helpful )
DEVICE=C:\
DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:
\DOS\EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB
I changed the lines 1 & 2 ; which the errors refered to ; to windows.
DEVICE=C:\
WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\
WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB
This fixed the problem as the files are in Windows , not DOS. I was stepping too far back , Win 3.1/ 95 maybe .
Silly me

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
Your strings show "Windows" ,which is where I went wrong.
NOEMS : refers to No " Extended/Expanded/upper " memory. It's not crucial , Win98 will boot with just HIMEM.SYS but I want to utilise memory as best as possible.
Tech , as always your really helpful , thanks!
I'm not sure what your config.sys is trying to do , quite a lot it seems
I'll study this and see if there's some useful/juicy commands in there. From a glance it seems to be Finding/loading the CD Rom drive : "device=oakcdrom.sys /D:mscd001 " , and might be from the the initial installation process.
I know this is almost primeval technology,
but with so many old computers being thrown into rubbish dumps i feel it's important to utilise these dinosaurs , and people without the money can have access to the Internet, or at least a Computer of some kind.
Thanks for your help guy's.
