In article <1991Oct28.005031.16588@mlacus.oz.au> you write: >Note: A WINA20.386 file is automatically installed in the root directory by >the MSDOS 5.0 setup program. Windows cannot starts in Enhanced Mode without >this file. If I remove this file, Windows in Enhanced Mode detects it and >complains on the missing WINA20.386 file. Then why remove the (*&(%^*&^ file then? I see this message time and time again on the net ; "DOS installs the file so I removed it then Windows crashes..." or something similar. What is it? Some form of "my root directory must be clean" fetish? My advice:- 1) Leave WinA20.386 alone! 2) Selectively remove lines from your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC files 3) If it's still crashing, selectively add exclude lines to EMM386 or whatever other programs can accept them. 4) If still no luck, selectively remove cards from your machine until you only have your floppy controller, Hard disk controller and video card left. Failing that, ???????? :) -- Fraser Bryden edc115s@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au, skiman@guru.pub.uu.oz.au "I seem to be having this tremendous difficulty with my lifestyle!"
