Win95 Dual Boot

2 posts by 2 people · 02 Oct 1996 - 04 Oct 1996

Just wanted to let everyone know something in case they didn't know. I'd been asking questions on how to use Dosstart. Well, I found a better method. Setup your config.sys and autoexec.bat the way you want them for Win95 to boot. But also create 2 files called Config.Dos and Autoexec.Dos for how you want Dos to boot. Now when you start your computer, if you want to go to Dos mode, hit F4, not F8. What happens is your computer loads your previous version of Dos. It renames your config.sys and autoexec.bat to config.w40 and autoexec.w40. It then renames your config.dos and autoexec.dos to config.sys and autoexec.bat for booting. It's kind of a nice method, but you must have a previous version of dos on your hard drive. Also, put all of these files in your root direction of C: If you have any questions, feel free to leave me E-mail.
You don't have to exit to Dos. Create a shortcut and run it in '95! After unzipping to n2demo directory, right click on n2demo.exe... Select create shortcut. Right click on the new shortcut and select properties. Select memory tab. Then at the bottom under dpmi memory select -16384-. Click on the screen tab and select full-screen. Click on the misc. tab and uncheck the allow screen saver option. Click on the program tab and then click on the change icon button. Select whatever icon you like. When done click on OK button at the bottom and your done. I'm already loading the full version of univbe in my autoexec.bat for windows-95 so I don't need to install it for nascar2. Double-click setup and autodetect the sound card. If it test OK then select save and exit. I didn't use the univbe option (see above). Double-click on you n2demo shortcut and have a good race.
