I want to play DOS-Games

[lordluca]

Can anyone tell me what lines I have to add to my config and autoexec to play DOS-games? I have a Soundblaster PCI 128 and a normal Logitech-mouse, and a IDE CD-ROM drive.

In Windows 98/95, you don't need anything in autoexec.bat or config.sys.

You can add the line in dosstart.bat but it's better adding DOS commands into Exit To Dos file in the Windows directory. There are options here for autoexec.bat and config.sys. Go to c:\windows, right-click on Exit To Dos, choose Properties, click the Program tab,click the Advanced button, check MS-DOS mode and specify a new MS-DOS configuration.

Here's a sample for autoexec.bat
C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000
C:\WINDOWS\SETUPDS.EXE /S
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
C:\PROGRA~1\LOGITECH\MOUSEW~1\MOUSE.EXE

Here's a sample for Config.sys
Device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\OAKCDROM.SYS /D:MSCD000

You can use the generic oakcdrom.sys from the Win98 boot disk. Just copy it to c:\windows\command and you can use the above exactlty as it stands.

Thx for the help reghakr... but what if they require more memory? Is there anything I can do about that?
