Hello Bastiaan
Here are your autoexec.bat and config.sys:
>=3D=3D>autoexec.bat
>Call C:\TBAV\tbstart.bat
>mode con codepage prepare=3D((437) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
>mode con codepage select=3D437
>PATH C:\TBAV;C:\;C:\NORTON
>nc
>(TBAV is virusscanner)
>=3D=3D>config.sys
>device=3DC:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=3D(ega,,1)
>Country=3D031,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys
>SHELL=3Dcommand.com /p /e:2048
In order to disable HTML, you have to change a setting in MS-Outlook (?)
options. I don't know precisely which option was, but, sure thing lt's there.
If you type "mem" at the command prompt in DOS, you will see the ammount of
free memory you've got. Probably little over 500k. You will probably observe
there is no free extended memory. Arachne needs both extended memory and a
large ammount of conventional memory, in order to run properly. Please add
the following lines at the beginning of config.sys.: These should be the
first lines in config.sys
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH
and remove the following lines from your config.sys
device=3DC:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=031,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys
by placing a "REM" at the beginning of each line.
In your "autoexec.bat" it might be useful to add the following:
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
and to reduce the size of DOS environment at 1024 bytes
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /P
also, it is a good idea to be able to use the mouse, at least in NOrton
Commander :). Add the following in "autoexec.bat"
C:\WINDOWS\MOUSE.EXE That should work.
Remove the following by placing a "REM" at the beginning of each line.
Don't forget rhat "nc" should always be the LAST line in your autoexec.bat
>REM mode con codepage prepare=((437) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
>REM mode con codepage select=437
Additional tip:
It is a good idea to check if the DoubleSpace driver isn't loaded by mistake
every time you're starting your computer (another MS bug). Reboot your
computer and press "F8" at the very moment when the OS starts loading. (When
it says "Starting Windows 95"). You shall be presented a startup menu. Choose
"Step by step confirmation" and in case you'll be asked "Load Doublespace
driver ?" answer "No". That should not load it again.
Hope this will be of any help for you
