We have a DOS application that requires files=100, buffers=50 statement in the config.sys file. I understand that these statements should be put in the config.nt file. I have tried this but the application still runs extremely slow. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
 
note that the config.nt file is not in the root of C.


Go to Start> Programs> MS-DOS Prompt. At the prompt type:

CD\WINNT\SYSTEM32 Change this if your install isnt in \WINNT

EDIT CONFIG.NT

To CONFIG.NT you will need to add:

FILES=100

BUFFERS=50

 
Under Properties for the DOS program icon.
Memory.. DOS memory protected. Check the box.
Expanded NONE
Extended Auto GlennA
