Is it possible to load the ansi.sys driver in WinXP Pro?

[Patrick Klemetz]

Hello !

I wonder if it´s possible to load the driver ansi.sys in Windows XP
Proffesional.

It´s an old DOS program that requires that it´s loaded.

The driver seems to exist in the catalog ..\system32

Best regards

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Yes, we can add the following command in the c:\windows\system32\config.nt.

device=c:\windows\system32\ansi.sys

This will load the ansi.sys
