howdy, I just got a new computer that is still out-of-date but not as quite as my old one. I have installed privateer and I cant get it to work. I have myjemm installed and it tells me to put the following line into config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM

I have finally found config.sys but I cant find where this line is supposed to go. anyone help?

heres my config.sys

menuitem=CD, Start computer with CD-ROM support.

I seriously DOUBT this is the config sys that you are actually USING.
You'd get a selection screen before booting windows every time you did...
In any case the emm386 line should go right below the himem.sys one.
 
well, I ran a search of my comp for config.sys and this is the only one that is in the windows directory. which himen.sys line should it go below? theres 3 of them
 
You want the config.sys that's in your root, I believe.

Be sure to set cddrivemakescdexplode to =no.
 
LOAF is right. Go into Windows Explorer, stay on the C: drive, check that config and autoexec, and then tell us what you know.

Also, you probably shouldn't set your CD drive to explode. Just a thought.
 
ok heres the config.sys on c:
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=004,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys

and heres the autoexec.bat:
mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850

and btw, I put a new(slower) cd drive in so it shouldnt happen again :D
