in:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E: /P
 the /E: requires a number - this is the amount oe environment space reserved.  I set all my PC's to 2048K so my line looks like:
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM C:\ /E:2048 /P

Remember, blank lines are counted when DOS complains.

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!

Steve Brown
