Hi, Although i don't use WinME,WinME does't use real dos mode. but U could make it run in Real DOS mode without booting from floppy every time. Try this file : http://www.geocities.com/mfd4life_2000/mfddme13.zip
This is the unofficial WinMe Real DOS Mode Patch (MS doesn't recommend it ;-) Did you ever wonder why Windows ME, which is based on the Windows 9x kernel,can't access Real DOS-Mode? Did you think that Windows ME architecture doesn't allow it? Well, it seems that Microsoft simply decided to hide this option in Windows ME, for some unknown reason... This patch will modify "IO.SYS", "COMMAND.COM" and "REGENV32.EXE" in order to unhide the Real DOS-Mode on Windows ME systems, resulting in a similar boot process to the one available in Windows 9x. This will allow, for example, to reach DOS directly by pressing "Shift-F8" at boot-up, to use "CONFIG.SYS" and "AUTOEXEC.BAT" before Windows loads, and to set up a startup menu. I think this will do the work for you. saket On Thu, 07 Mar 2002 Ravi Dev Rajesh wrote : >Hi sandip, > This is ravi.
