This article was previously published under Q69189 SUMMARY
When installing a third party video driver for Microsoft Windows version
3.00, the line DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EGA.SYS is added to the CONFIG.SYS file if
Windows is allowed to modify this file. Windows does not copy over the
EGA.SYS file when installing some third party drivers, so the error message
Bad or Missing C:\WINDOWS\EGA.SYS
will appear when the system is booted.
The EGA.SYS file should be copied from the Windows disks and expanded if
the graphics display is EGA. If not, the DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EGA.SYS is not
necessary and can be deleted from the CONFIG.SYS. For more information on
expanding files, query on the following words:
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows version
3.00. This problem was corrected in Microsoft Windows 3.00a.
