    The lab work was completed on a desktop PC running Windows XP, rather than the submitter's laptops. The submitter needed to install the Windows Recovery Console program but was unable to use the Print Screen key. The results showed MS-DOS startup file configuration options including ECHOCONFIG, NTCMDPROMPT, DOSONLY, and EMM settings to configure expanded memory.

    Microcomputer Fundamentals 19 July 2012 Week 5 Lab Submission

    The work for my lab was done on an XP Desktop and not my laptops

    this did not create a shortcut for me i had to make it to put it on the desktop

    I needed to install windows recovery console program, I could not use the print screen. There is the results:
    REM Windows MS-DOS Startup File REM REM CONFIG.SYS vs CONFIG.NT REM CONFIG.SYS is not used to initialize the MS-DOS environment. REM CONFIG.NT is used to initialize the MS-DOS environment unless a REM different startup file is specified in an application's PIF. REM REM ECHOCONFIG REM By default, no information is displayed when the MS-DOS environment REM is initialized. To display CONFIG.NT/AUTOEXEC.NT information, add REM the command echoconfig to CONFIG.NT or other startup file. REM REM NTCMDPROMPT REM When you return to the command prompt from a TSR or while running an REM MS-DOS-based application, Windows runs COMMAND.COM. This allows the REM TSR to remain active. To run CMD.EXE, the Windows command prompt, REM rather than COMMAND.COM, add the command ntcmdprompt to CONFIG.NT or REM other startup file. REM REM DOSONLY REM By default, you can start any type of application when running REM COMMAND.COM. If you start an application other than an MS-DOS-based REM application, any running TSR may be disrupted. To ensure that only

    REM MS-DOS-based applications can be started, add the command dosonly to REM CONFIG.NT or other startup file. REM REM EMM REM You can use EMM command line to configure EMM(Expanded Memory Manager). REM The syntax is: REM REM EMM = [A=AltRegSets] [B=BaseSegment] [RAM] REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM REM AltRegSets specifies the total Alternative Mapping Register Sets you want the system to support. 1 <= AltRegSets <= 255. The default value is 8. BaseSegment specifies the starting segment address in the Dos conventional memory you want the system to allocate for EMM page frames. The value must be given in Hexdecimal. 0x1000 <= BaseSegment <= 0x4000. The value is rounded down to 16KB boundary. The default value is 0x4000 RAM specifies that the system should only allocate 64Kb address space from the Upper Memory Block(UMB) area for EMM page frames and leave the rests(if available) to be used by DOS to support loadhigh and devicehigh commands. The system, by default, would allocate all possible and available UMB for page frames.

    REM REM REM REM

    The EMM size is determined by pif file(either the one associated with your application or _default.pif). If the size from PIF file is zero, EMM will be disabled and the EMM line will be ignored.

    dos=high, umb device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys files=40
