Problems in MS-DOS

Problem SOUND or BLASTER environment could not be found.

Cause The command to set up the SOUND or BLASTER environment might not be included in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

When you install your audio card’s software, the commands are automatically added to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that both environment strings are set up when your system restarts.

Solution To add the command to set up the BLASTER environment in the respective system files, run DIAGNOSE (See “Understanding the Installation” on page B-1.).

To set up the SOUND environment, insert the statement SET SOUND=C:\SB16 into the AUTOEXEC.BAT file using a text editor. Reboot your system.

Problem Error message “Out of environment space”.Cause The system environment space is used up.

Solution Add the statement SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:512 /P to the CONFIG.SYS file. /E defines a new size for the system environment space. You can choose a higher value if the environment size is already

512 bytes. (Normally, the next value is 1024 bytes.) For details, refer to your DOS manual.
