Solve : files missing/corrupt? can't make dos boot disk?

Answer»

Hi,

I was given an older 'puter from my friend for the purpose of playing older games like Kings Quest 6 (cd)

It has windows 95 and I don't know what ver. of dos.

I installed the game in dos, but when I went to play it gave message: not ENOUGH memory if you have any resident software, please remove and try again (i did this & that didn't help)

I decided to make a boot disk and I followed the directions from this website.
it went ok till I got to the, copy himem*.* a:
it said file not found
also
copy emm.386*.* a: file not found
also mouse.com/or sys not found.

I then tried re-install game as it gives option to make a bootable disk from there and got the ERROR message
can't FIND doublespace.sys

what can I do? I can't TELL what version of ms dos is there because when I go to c:\ver it tell me I have windows 95 4.00

Do I have corrupt/missing files? Is there away to correct this.
How do I find out what version of dos I have?

I don't have any of the software that's in 'puter, but I do have a brand new version someone gave me of dos 6.22., although I would rather fix (if possible) whatever is wrong with the one that in there

Can I install that over whatever version I have in the COMPUTER?
I've never done anything like that is it pretty easy?

please advise,
thanks
You might not be in the directory where these utilities live. Do a search on each of the programs not found. You may have to include a path with your copy command.

I don't remember a lot about Win95, but try looking for your programs in c:\windows

Hope this helps.
