ansi.sys

[Duane Meador]

New computer - moving from 98 to XP - programs I have
written require that ansi.sys be included in the config
file.
XP says that config.nt (and autoexec.nt) are used to
initialize the MS-DOS environment - so I added
device=c:\I386\config.nt (also tried devicehigh) - after
adding the line above to the config.nt file.

Also added echoconfig as suggested in the config.nt file.


It does not work - my programs run with a problem familiar
to me - that is - the text is OK but the numbers are
garbage - this has always been fixed in the past by
getting ansi.sys involved - how can I do that?

Thank you
Duane

Found the answer to my own question - so if anybody else
needs to know - of the MANY copies of config.nt to be
found you have to specifically modify the one contained in
C:\windows\system32 - picking up Config.nt from any of
it's sources, (I386 is fine) and include the device=c:\I386
\anis.sys line in the version of config.nt in the system32
folder - all this has wasted about 3 hours so far...
Thanks
