absolutely no clue, so i'm gonna plump for [HIDE]the most obvious,A.[/HIDE]

 

If I understand your question correctly, the answe should be [hide]D. Here's my proof: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000425.htm [/hide]

 

[HIDE]C[/HIDE]

EDIT: really tricky cause its for WINDOWS 9X (hint hint)

 

no idea either, so i'll go for
[hide]A.[/hide]

 

Hmm, it's been a while.
[HIDE]
B)

C:\WINDOWS\CONFIG.SYS[/HIDE]

EDIT: Upon reflection, the question isn't clear if the HIMEM file is corrupt or there is a problem executing/loading it.

In the first case I think then [HIDE]C[/HIDE]

and in the second I'll stick with [HIDE]B[/HIDE]

 

oh, glad to see this is getting your minds churning over

 

my answer is [HIDE]B[/HIDE]

 

[HIDE]Hmmm, not sure the correct answer is in there Boyce

the file config.sys is in the root of the system drive C:\config.sys and is editable with any text editor like notepad or the DOS *edit* command.

Both autoexec.bat and config.sys are parsed during the boot up sequence. [/HIDE]

 

I should know this answer but I will guess that the answer is the following:

[HIDE]answer b[/HIDE]

 

[HIDE]B[/HIDE]

For me

 

I'll go for[HIDE] B[/HIDE]

It's amazing how much you forget about when you don't think about it every day!

 

[HIDE]surely it's B??[/HIDE]

 

If the file itself is corrupt then;

[HIDE]C[/HIDE]

If the file is fine then;

[HIDE]B[/HIDE]

Neall

 

[HIDE]Himem.sys issues can be resolved by editing the config.sys file as stated in Tripwires link where it states this for Windows 98...

So to correct the error you would edit the config.sys but as I said before, the config.sys file is not in the Windows directory, it is in the root C:\config.sys

If the error was himem.sys is missing or currupt then that would be a different question [/HIDE]

 

[HIDE]b[/HIDE]

i think!

 

Well done to everyone who said answer C.

 

err I think there were only 1 or 2 correct answers with this one werent they? hehehehehehheehehehhe

i reckon im ready for my core what you thinks? :hhhmmm
