Hi,
I installed Audician 32 windows drivers, which I believe made changes to my autoexec.bat for exit to dos mode. I then followed the Phil ms-dos mode guide, and pasted his config.sys and autoexec.bat into the advanced properties of 'exit to dos mode', overwriting for the first, and adding to the bottom for the autoexec.bat. I have copied/pasted the current config.sys and autoexec.bat from 'exit to dos mode'.
The issue is that I only got it to work after creating a directory c:\dos and putting into it emm86.exe, himem.sys, and mscdex.exe. Without doing that, the cd drives wouldn't be assigned drive letters, and it would say it couldn't find either himem or emm86 files. Now it seems to work fine, but it still does say Syntax Error after saying the mouse is loaded.
I'm not sure which lines in my autoexec.bat (I think the issue is here?) are creating the conflict in terms of directory, and what I would need to do to fix it other than what I've done, which feels like a duct tape fix of just duplicating windows files in a new c:\dos folder.
Thanks in advance
