Ian:
       What CPU runs this computer and how much RAM do you have in it? The reason I ask is that, this DOS Extender will allow the full capacity of a 386!  and enables running programs requiring large amounts of memory.

BTW as a DOS extender, it probably loads a "device driver=" in the config.sys file and calls an "*.exe" file in the autoexec.bat.  A very simplistic solution to your problem might be to edit both the config.sys and
autoexec.bat files and remove both the device driver and the *.exe

Thanks for bringing this program to my attention. I suspect I can recycle a bunch of 386s to run WIN9x     :-)

Regards
Harsha Godavari
