re: Question about 'Do I still need CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT?' Tuesday, June 10, 2003 at 11:33 am Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by ben (1 messages posted) I'm running on windows 98 se, i also need my date format to to british at the dos prompt but i can't seem to find out how to do this. The msconfig must be different in ME as i don't have a "international" tab in my 98'. I tried adding COUNTRY=44 in my config.sys but i just got a config.sys error message on boot up. Can anyone help? Thanx in advance, Ben. On Monday, January 28, 2002 at 11:41 am, JohnE wrote: >Just some information for anyone who is having this problem....
