I cannot say what Century 4 will need exactly (I also wasn't aware of the NTFS issue), but I can offer a configuration we have used and successfully tested with M-Chess Pro 7.1 when Windows ME was released. (It may be a problem if a DOS program need to suppress himem.sys or the new xms driver which WinME seems to use, but AFAIK M-Chess or Rebel don't have that problem). The idea was to make a Startup disk in Windows ME (in system properties/software), and edit the configuration files. Use *at your own risk* (of course path must be customized, also those to your individual DOS mouse and CD drivers): CONFIG.SYS ---------- [menu] menuitem= CD, CD ROM-Support and SmartDrive menuitem=NOCD, Mini-Configuration (no CD, SmartDrv) menudefault=CD,6 menucolor=14,0 [COMMON] files=40 buffers=10 dos=high,umb stacks=9,256 lastdrive=z [CD] DEVICE=c:\cd-rom\TEAC_CDI.SYS /D:TEAC-CDI [NOCD] ------------ AUTOEXEC.BAT ------------ @ECHO OFF SET windir=C:\WINDOWS SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;.. SET PROMPT=$p$g SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP SET TMP=C:\TEMP SET DIRCMD=/o:en /p c:\windows\command\doskey /insert REM (for german users) c:\windows\command\ebd\keyb gr,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys SET LMOUSE=C:\MOUSE C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE goto %config% :CD c:\windows\smartdrv 2048 c:\cd-rom\mscdex.exe /D:TEAC-CDI /M:15 :NOCD ---------- Good luck!
