- Crucial Entertainment warn you that although this procedure has been tested and
- used on many computers since December 1995 the choice to make the changes must
- be your own.
-
- If you encounter any problems rename the files
- CONFIG.OLD and AUTOEXEC.OLD as CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to recover the
- original configuration. To do this open the DOS prompt again and type the following,
-
- copy c:\config.old c:\config.sys /y
- copy c:\autoexec.old c:\autoexec.bat /y
