Terry, I'll have to jump in and agree with Nate and the others that you are wrong about Win95 renaming config.sys and autoexec.bat. Maybe you misunderstood the question, but you are wrong. Windows 95, from what I've experienced, may comment out one or two drivers that it knows about (basically MS ones like MSCDEX), but leaves the rest of config.sys and autoexec.bat basically intact. It may make a separate autoexec.dos with uncommented versions of MSCDEX and so forth, but the originally files are NOT renamed. Admit you are wrong! As for whether or not it *uses* these DOS drivers in Win32 mode, I will agree that it doesn't, if it also has a native Win32 driver for the device in question. But the drivers ARE still loaded, they DO take up conventional (or high) memory, and they WILL be used if the system is exited to DOS mode. -- Jake
