Hi Kevin,

I don't know if I can explain what to do so I've included my config.sys file
as an example.  It has worked well for me for a long time. You can get
some good ideas from it.

DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE X=C000-C7FF X=F000-F7FF I=E000-EFFF I=B000-B7FF A=64 D=256 NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\MAX\DOSMAX.EXE M1 N+ P- R-
DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\TSYCDROM.SYS /D:TSYCD1 /P:SM
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
SET COMSPEC=C:\COMMAND.COM
SHELL=C:\MAX\SHELLMAX.COM /N+ /P- /R- /S- C:\COMMAND.COM
C:\ /E:512 /P /F
STACKS=9,256
FCBS=1,0
BUFFERS=4
FILES=40

Sincerely,

Richard D.Smith
