SYMPTOMS

MemMaker removes question mark characters (?) from commands in your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, edit your CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files after you run MemMaker and add the question mark characters.

For more information on using the question mark in your startup files, type help config.sys at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER.

STATUS
