subdirectory, and the CDROM subdirectory:
EMM386.EXE (loaded by CONFIG.SYS)
HIMEM.SYS (loaded by CONFIG.SYS)
SMARTDRV.EXE (loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT)
MSCDEX.EXE (loaded by AUTOEXEC.BAT)
Then use the newest program among the ones for the DOS,
Windows, and CDROM directories for each drivers.
You can easily use the newer one by changing the subdirectory
name in the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT.
For example,
if the ones in DOS were the newest, you would change:
C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
to:
C:\DOS\SMARTDRV.EXE
If you start Windows from the DOS prompt, do not close the LCD
while the program is loading; if you do, the computer will stop
running.
