config.sys and windows protection error

[brucegooglegroups]

In a recent post, it was suggested to boot normally and copy the
contents of my config.sys

rem buffer=80
files=200
stacks-12,256
device= c:\windows\himem.sys
device= c:\windows\EMM386.EXE
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe


My system still runs slow. Comments? I am contemplating a reinstall.

Dunno, its been awhile. The first line containing a remark (rem) is
entirely unneeded.

Profound is we're here due to a chance arrangement
of chemicals in the ocean billions of years ago.
More profound is we made it to the top of the food
chain per our reasoning abilities.
Most profound is the denial of why we may
be on the way out.

Standard implementations of Win98 do not need
(and cannot use most assignments in) CONFIG.SYS
and AUTOEXEC.BAT. Rename both and reboot and
see if your Windows runs faster.

Hi Don,
What do you mean by renaming both?

Change the names of the files to autoexec.bak and config.bak, say.
Then reboot. If this causes problems, then rename them back again. You
can do this by r-clicking the file names in Explorer and selecting
Rename, or you can do it at a DOS prompt by typing ...

ren c:\autoexec.bat autoexec.bak
ren c:\config.sys config.bak

Simpler and safer than renaming, if you are not familiar with renaming files, is to
temporarily disable the two files.

Click Start> Run, type:
msconfig
|Click OK|

On the General tab, click Selective Startup, then uncheck the Autoexec.bat and the
Config.sys boxes to disable loading them, and click OK, then reboot.

Hi Glen,
This doesn't work. I finally got my system running by going into
normal startup, but disabling config.sys and autbat.sys won't result
in restarting.
I usually get a windows protection error.
How about unchecking one item at a time from either config.sys or
autobat.sys?
Thanks.
Bruce

Bruce,
You already posted the contents of your config.sys file.....now please post the
contents of your autoexec.bat file. (There is no file named "autobat.sys" so I
assume that was a typo).

Hi Glen,
My autoexec.bat file:
rem - By Windows 98 Network - C:\WINDOWS\net start
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

Happy Thanksgiving!
Bruce

Just to be sure....this is EVERYTHING in your autoexec.bat file:

rem - By Windows 98 Network - C:\WINDOWS\net start
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 P330 T6
SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS
C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM

and your Config.sys file:

rem buffer=80
files=200
stacks-12,256
device= c:\windows\himem.sys
device= c:\windows\EMM386.EXE
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe

Correct?

You are getting a Windows Protection error "sometimes", and you say when you go to
msconfig, select Selective Startup and un-check the autoexec.bat and config.sys, on
the General tab, and click OK, you *cannot* restart the computer??

What happens when you do that, exactly? Your statement that is "doesn't result in
restarting" really doesn't tell me anything.

Happy Thanksgiving!

again,, you believe that? was it all just an accident dave?

no,, Most profound is how intelligent men 'deny' the truth.

you are in a league of your own son, such idiotic statements and thoughts.

btw, what is your date of birth? is it measured via the death of another man? (mine is in the year
1955,,, but, what do you suppose this means dave...? is it a secret code? or does it relate to
something that happened one thousand nine hundred and fifty five years ago.. hmmmm? )
will you have a party hat on while eating your christ-mas dinner?
you are a silly person dave,,, computer literate perhaps, but very silly otherwise.....
specially when it comes to discerning truth. (you seem to run on "faith", faith that 'someone'
told you something about a billion years ago,,,, and yet you believe him/them. how is a
fool measured? i'll leave you to figure that one out.
