I have WinXP Home upgraded from Win98. My old C:\CONFIG.SYS says:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=972,862,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys
In my CONFIG.NT, after the REM "Lines below this have been migrated from the
original Windows 98 settings", it goes:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\HIMEM.SYS
REM DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
REM device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
REM Country=972,862,C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\COUNTRY.SYS
And above that comment it has, among others:
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
So I understand that WinXP setup deleted the four files mentioned in
CONFIG.SYS,
installed new himem.sys and country.sys in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, modified the
lines pertaining to these two files to reflect the changed location, and
commented out the last three lines. Am I right or was anything corrupted?
Why do I need to have himem.sys twice and country.sys zero times?
I should add that I can sense no problem in the system, it just interests me.
