Hi! Let's assume the hardware is working well... At the same time suspect the some [1]software may make trouble. The goal is to do some checks to see that all DOS software is working like it should.
What do I mean with faulty [1]software? - bad BIOS settings - booted by a bogus bootmanager - BIOS extenders - encryption drivers loaded before DOS - USB drivers loaded before DOS - device driver or TSR after DOS started - ... What can be done in order to see everything works well? Some things to test if everything works well I can think of: - test RAM with memtest+ - run a real mode application - run a XMS application - run an EMS application - run some application using a DOS extender - run mem - load mouse driver and test if mouse works - check if nssi tests work - test if grub.exe starts If any of these doesn't work while it works on a reference platform something is foul. Can you think of further tests or software to investigate? regards, -mr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
