When you go to DOS Mode, the Sound Card drivers need to be installed. Do you happen to know what Sound Card is in that machine?

yea. its a Yamaha's 16-bit YMF744B-R get it from this site: http://www.ehow.com/info_8135332_toshiba-tecr … ptop-specs.html

but im kinda sure its the right one.

OFC i ahve installed all the drivers, i happend to find a site where i can dl them all here: http://www.helpjet.net/files-Toshiba-Tecra-8100.html#ASound Card

But you need DOS drivers for DOS games. And by the looks of it there are no DOS drivers.

ok then. so i can't play those games that crashes when i start them inside of windows.... its kinda looks like i can play some games. i get DOOM running fine when sound and all useing the ms-dos prompt. but well i guess i can't run all the games that way...

In Win 98 Not just doubleclick the Game.exe

Start a CommandPrompt Change to Game Directory and Start the Game.exe from there.

Maybe you Get an Error Message why Programm crashes (to less ram, no Ems, etc for example)

Then you can Change the ram settings by right clicking on the Game.exe

select restart in msdos mode
at the dos prompt type the everything on the following line
type autoexec.bat > info.txt

post contents of info.txt here

i get that this file do not exist. are in C:\Windows

i think i shoudl be there. but well that file do not exist for me.

autoexec.bat is located in root directory. It's C:\autoexec.bat.

ok. did not know.

ok i tryd that. its only crateing a info.txt file. and that file are empty. i tryd do this one more time when i ahve the file. nothingnew happend. i tryd even do it in win98 but still the some. i get an info.txt files whit nothing in it at all.

what does this mean? sorry for beening so noobish but i ahve never playd around whit MS-DOS i just wonna learn cuz its a cool stuff^^

I've got some tutorials on my YT channel if you're interested!

This one in particular:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsZFdFbSzdA&l … ETU-VWM7mUe52OB

It shows you each and every step. But it's quite long so you need to be a bit patient 🤣

ok will che ck it out.

i looked at the videos. and i see first of. u use win95. i have win98SE is one diff. the others are we have diff in parts and stuff. i don't really know where my drivers are hehe. never done something liek this before feel so bad. and many of the folder you are linking to do not exist for me. so think thing u ahve are not working whit my computer. and i can't go down to win95 there is no drivers for me there.

so are there any other way i can do this?

Win98 has a device manager in the same place Win95 has one (right clicking "My Computer" and then "Properties"), and folders start existing when there's actual hardware detected in them. You should be able to find your soundcard and check its assigned resources within

sorry try this

select restart in msdos mode
at the dos prompt type the everything on the following lines (press the enter key at the end of every line)
cd\
type autoexec.bat > info.txt

ps: the above line you do have to type in the word type ( not autoexec.bat > info.txt but type autoexec.bat > info.txt )

if info.txt is still empty try this (press enter at the end of every line)
select restart in msdos mode
at the dos prompt type
cd\
cls
type autoexec.bat

and write down what you see on screen and post it here

still nothing,
i tryd both way it gat me nothing. when i try to open the info.txt file i gat "badcommand or file"
theni did the other one but i did get nothing there.

its like this autoexec.bat are a file thats are not used for anything. i get like this:

C:\type autoexec.bat (enter)

C:\

thats how i looks.

There's an easier way to do this.

Go to the Start menu, select Run, type SYSEDIT, and press Enter. Is there a window named AUTOEXEC.BAT? Is there anything written in it?

but does that display the autoexec.bat for dos or the autoexec.bat for dos mode in windows ?
