I have Windows 98SE, MS-DOS 4.2. I need to know if it is possible to delete a file that was mistakenly(I didn't do it!) setup in DOS? It is a PCI Audio file that has all the settings for the speakers and sound. The file had both a Windows application and an MS-DOS application. A WELL-intentioned friend decided to see what would happen if he clicked the MS-DOS file. Well it downloaded into DOS and now the file APPEARS (quickly) between the Windows 98 start window, (the one with the 6 different choices-MS-DOS, safe-mode, etc.) and the regular screen. I know that this is not right because the SB port, FM port, IRQ, and DMA are interfering with something else (I'm not sure what) that should be using those things. Also it is interfering with the sound. What can I do, if anything? I am only just a little knowledgeable about DOS. Thank you for any help and/or SUGGESTIONS you may have. poniMS-DOS 4.2? What's that about?

Check your autoexec.bat and config.sys file in the ROOT directory as well as any variants.

Sorry, I meant 4.1. I know that the files are in the autoexec.bat, but I have not seen them in any other directory, including the config.sys. When I type in C:\PCIAUD\SETAUDIO, a file opens, listing the Device Number, Vendor ID, Device ID, PCI Config. Base I/O, PCI IRQ, DMA, IRQ, and the set SB Port, FM Port, and the MPU401 Port to I/O. It is called a Finished file. And the C:\PCIAUD\C3DMIX file has a list of audio devices, (i.e.:Master, CD Line-In, Mic, Recording, etc.), with left and right volume controls for each one, if changing their sound becomes necessary. Although I can CHANGE the loudness and disable the mute buttons, I can not find a way to delete these applications. And I don't mean to sound ignorant, but what do you mean by the variants? And even if I do check these things, what do I do once I find them? Thank you. poni
