Well that went down really well - NOT!

All that happenned was that I lost my cd-rom drive. The sytem still
came up ES1868 failed Audiodrive not found even when I put "REM" in
front of the line. When I put brackets around the line I also lost my
cd-rom drive. Here is the 1ST part of the config sys to see if you can
make any sense for me:

[MENU]
MENUITEM=1,NORMAL WINDOWS 95 STARTUP.
SUBMENU=2,GAMES OPTIONS.
MENUDEFAULT=1,15




[1]
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS
DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICEHIGH=C:\ESSUTIL\ES1868.COM /A:0 /I:0
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\CDROM.SYS /D:CD-ROM
COUNTRY=044,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\COUNTRY.SYS

h a y u l p. What do I do now. My eventual aim is to get a PII/PIII
compatible board + cpu but I don't want to do that until I know what
I am doing by experimenting with the board I already have.

Oh and can anyone recommend a very basic dos text editor so that if I
really screw up I can at least start up with my system floppy disk &
edit the files back to their original state.

Thanks

Julian
