Stephen,
If your config.sys is exactly as you have shown it in your email, then you
have at least 11 lines. Blank lines count too
.
Line 7 is the SHELL = statement and there IS an error. You need a space
between the C:\ and the /E:
And I believe that /E: is the switch for the environment size. If so, then
there should be some numbers immediately after the colon, like a 512.
Although with Windows 98 the only thing you need in your config.sys is the
last statement for the CD rom. And - depending on the CD rom - you *might*
not need that either.
My suggestion is delete all the blank lines and then to put a semi-colon in
front of EVERY line save it and reboot.
If all your software still works, then you can delete all the lines in
config.sys except the last. If the CD is still accessible, you can
completely delete config.sys -- it's not needed. If the CD does not work,
then remove the semi colon and reboot.

From: Stephen K. Brown <[log in to unmask]>
I have AMD K5-133 with 40MB of ram, Windows 98 with Service Pack 1
My Config.sys is as follows:
DOS = HIGH, UMB
BUFFERS = 40,0
FILES =127
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E: /P
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe
device=C:\CDROM\NEC_IDE.SYS /D:MSCD001 /v
During boot up, I get a message that there is an error on line 7 of my
config.sys file. However, the file above only shows 6 lines? Additionally,
I don't understand the reference in the bottom line to my D drive. That is
the second partition on my hard drive that has a lot of old files and
programs on it that I do not use at all.
Is my config.sys file incorrect and, if so, what should it be?
Also my AutoExec.bat file is shown below:
@C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NORTON~2\NAVDX.EXE /Startup
I use Norton Antivirus. Is this file correct or not? Should there be
additional entries?
Any advice/help is appreciated!
