Similarly, what do I need to diddle in mwgames.bat? I only use the Windows Mwave support (I don't use mwave.bat or mwgames.bat) so I can't help you with this one. > > 2.

I believe the v7320apm.exe you are referring supports power management functions for the Enhanced Video Device/MPEG adaptor only. If you are running under DOS/Windows 3.x, you should keep the POWER.EXE line in you config.sys. If you are running under Win95, then you can remove POWER.EXE. > > 4.

There are other similar arcane lines in the original autoexec.bat which I > hesitate to remove, since there's no documentation. What lines in particular? Note that if you are running under Win95, you can *eventually* remove most lines from config.sys, once you replace the DOS mode drivers (CDROM, PCMCIA, etc.) by their Win95 counterparts. My own config.sys is only three lines long: device=c:\mww\manager\mwd50430.exe device=c:\windows\system\v7320mgr.exe device=c:\windows\system\v7320apm.exe And my autoexec.bat is not much bigger either: @echo off path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\mww\dll;c:\pkware; set dircmd=/ogen doskey /insert del=del $1 /p >nul > > Thanks. > > > Hope this helps...
