Welcome back ;-) > could you please detail exactly what you've typed in your system > config utility? I think he simply followed the zip-picker instructions, which don't mention msconfig, they only mention CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT. > ME works fine with the DJGPP variable if you define it in > there That's true, but IMHO messing with msconfig is too complicated to advise users as the primary means of installing DJGPP. The method I suggested is much simpler, and it will be still more simple if we modify setdjgpp.bat (from djdevNNN.zip) to add %DJDIR%/bin to PATH. Btw, does Windows ME have the ability to modify enviroment variables from the Control Panel, like NT and W2K? If so, does the new value becomes effective immediately, or is a reboot still needed?
