Installing Files from Option
Diskettes
An optional device or adapter might come with a
diskette. Diskettes that are included in option packages
usually contain files that the computer needs for
recognizing and activating the options. Until you install
the necessary files, the new device or adapter might cause
error messages.
If your optional device or adapter came with a diskette,
you might need to install some configuration (.CFG) files
or diagnostic files (.EXE or .COM) from the diskette to
your hard disk.
Managing TSR Programs
Terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs are loaded
into memory and stay there so you can access them
whenever you want. If you are loading or using an
application program and receive a message that you do
not have enough memory, TSR programs might be taking
up valuable space.
Check the documentation that comes with each TSR
program to find out how to solve this problem. You
might be able to remove the program from memory for
the rest of your current work session. Sometimes you can
change the order in which the TSR programs are loaded
so that memory is used more efficiently. Or perhaps you
can remove from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file the TSR
programs that you do not use frequently.
See your operating system documentation for assistance
on editing or disabling statements in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
