Yes if it is Kasparov's gambit he wants to start And want to make it work perfectly Or when it is Fritz3 he wants to start diferent memory valeu are very important Rember Kasparov's Gambit and some other programs used extended memory which have to be set up in the autoexec.bat ? Kasparov's gambit only did need it for the video's under the game but it if you choose not to want video comands it works directly . But C2175 did need it for the programs. But then your only talking about the oldies. 1992 The newer programs have a way to change the hastables in the interface. But you can also download a file after which you can reboot Windows ME in dos mode just like windows 95. Rebel for instance gives beter preformance in real dos mode Also more hash will be available when Windows is not loaded. I am not sure if Rebel XP runs in real dos mode but the older versions did. I gues someone is friendly enough to answer this question. But then you could make a bootdisk again with some specified lines in the config.syswhich are explained in the readme file. You also need to make a boot disk if you want to start up Fritz3 in x mode. Maybe you can do something with the posibiletys given Also how to improve your question. Marc
