Microsoft Excel™ users: add MaxBPs=768 below [Enh386] in your system.ini (Normally: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTEM.INI). Note: You can use the SYSEDIT utility (in Windows™) to add this line.
When installing anything in Windows™, always close all open windows, and back ground processes. You can toggle to determine if anything is open by pressing Alt+Tab (keys) at the same time. Press Alt+F4 to then close the processes. Windows™ does weird things when you install programs with other programs running in the back ground. And, just a note of further caution... always backup before installing!
Want to find a file somewhere on your hard drive? Simply type dir \filename.ext /s /p at the DOS prompt. This DOS command will provide a list of files (and the respective PATH). Hopefully, the one you are seeking will appear. Wildcards, and partial names are permitted with this command.
Note: This also works at the MS-DOS prompt in Windows™ 9x
Tip: Always check your hard drive upon booting (or, while using your computer if something flaky occurs) with CHKDSK (CHecKDiSK). I strongly recommend that you include CHKDSK in your AUTOEXCE.BAT, e.g., add the line C:\DOS\CHKDSK /F to assure yourself that all is well upon booting. Or, while sitting at the DOS prompt, execute CHKDSK ... it only takes a few second. The "/F" prompts CHKDSK to recover unallocated files if they are found. [A prompt will suggest that you recover file (Y/N)? Always answer "Y" (yes). Any recovered files will reside in the ROOT directory (C:\) until you delete them.] Type HELP CHKDSK at the prompt to learn more about CHKDSK, or any other DOS command.
Another handy utility with DOS 5.x+ is the MEM command. mem /c /p provides a listing of the DOS programs loaded in memory. You will note that both, CONVENTIONAL, and EXTENDED memory listings are provided.
