DOS ERROR 4 (CLIPPER 5.02) on WINDOWS ME

by ferdz . Updated 24 years, 3 months ago

I’m recently working on a Windows ME installation. However, afterwards I cannot run anymore my DOS based programs.

For example, when running CLIPPER based applications, I encountered the following error : (DOS ERROR 4). I tried to fix it by editing the config.sys file to include the following lines:
FILES=120
BUFFERS=20

and add this line to the autoexec.bat/environment variables:
SET CLIPPER=F:115

Since Windows ME is merging this variables to the Registry the config.sys was blanked after re-starting PC.

Now, how can I make those DOS based applications run or how can I fix/circumvent the DOS file handling of Windows ME?

Thanks
