Installing Windows 95:
|
Unlike NT and OS/2, the Windows 95 DOS emulation allows PS2.EXE to operate. You must set
up the following characteristics of the DOS box before it will run properly. Create a
shortcut to PS2.EXE, then examine the properties of the shortcut. These are the settings I
altered for my preferences:
| General | none | ||
| Program | Cmd Line | Add a question mark to the end of the command line, so that a parameter is requested
when the program runs: D:\PS2.EXE ? |
|
| Close on exit | Ensure this is unchecked, so you can read the output of PS2. | ||
| Advanced... | Add a check mark for Prevent MS-DOS-based programs from detecting Windows, and remove the check mark from Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary. | ||
| Font | none | ||
| Memory | none | ||
| Screen | Initial size | 25 lines | |
| Display toolbar | unchecked | ||
| Misc | Termination: Warn if still active | Uncheck so you can quickly close the DOS box with the X button. | |
Note particularly the change made to the command line - if you don't put the question mark
there, PS2.EXE will see no parameters, and so will try to run in its menu-driven
full-screen mode, thus producing errors relating to the lack of DBCS (Double Byte
Character Set) support.
You can now use any of the PS2 commands that you would do
from DOS to configure the PC110.
