Problems After Installing Programs in MS-DOS Mode (148800)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 98
- Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
This article was previously published under Q148800 SYMPTOMS
Some Windows-based programs also include an MS-DOS version of Setup. If
you set up such a program in MS-DOS mode, the program may not work
correctly in Windows.
CAUSE
Windows uses different Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files in MS-DOS
mode. Changes made to these files during the program's installation are
not made in the files used by Windows.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, run the Windows-based version of the
program's Setup program. Or, restart the computer to a command prompt and
run the program's MS-DOS-based Setup program again.
