How the heck do i change this crazy thing back to English?
Its currently on German.

I edited the part where it says 049,850 to 001,437 but its still on German.

where did you changed it? the autoexec? the config.sys? Keyboard ? the codepage itself?

config.sys

Don't you need an English version of DOS 6.22?

I think so too.

try this

Autoexec.bat

country=049,850
Device=c:\windows\command\display.sys con=(,,2)

Config.sys

mode con cp prepare=((858 850) c:\windows\command\ega2.cpi)
mode con cp select=858
keyb is,,c:\windows\command\keybrd2.sys

the code for Germany is

049 = country code
850, 437 = The code page

edit as nessesary my memory isnt too good think of the above as a starting point

you don't need an "english version" of dos 6.22
just post your config and your autoexec, it's easier that way 😀

I totally misread the first post and thought you wanted english to german sorry about that

try

Autoexec.bat

mode con codepage prepare=((850)e:\dos\ega.cpi)
chcp 850
mode con codepage select=850
keyb us,850,e:\dos\keyboard.sys

Config.sys

device=c:\dos\display.sys con=(ega,437,2)
country=001,437,c:\dos\country.sys
keyb is,,c:\windows\command\keybrd2.sys

Oh I was just going to compare with my files to see where the error could be (I have installed english)

If you need to alternate between languages you should take a look at country.txt 😉
