I'm running Windows XP Media Edition (?) on my new laptop. My last
laptop, which was fried by lightning, ran my favorite old DOS-type
program, Lotus Symphony 2.2, just fine, under Windows XP Home edition
(with service pack 2).
I had to set up the properties on some file or other, perhaps a batch
file which started Symphony, and I may have had to create special
AUTOEXEC and CONFIG start-up files for it. I don't remember.
I have the old hard drive, and can access everything in it, but don't
know exactly what to look for. Some sort of .PIF file?
Symphony was able to discover expanded memory and use it to load large
files into memory, but on this newer machine, it can't. Perhaps I'm
applying the properties to the wrong file, or have to set up new
AUTOEXEC and CONFIG files. I may have used EMM386.SYS or something on
the old laptop. If I could find out how Symphony looks for EMM, (by
running it under DEBUG?) perhaps that would help me track down the problem.
