System.ini entry gone on reboot Friday, September 25, 2009 at 4:10 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by madman420 (15 messages posted) In Windows ME with all updates, I wanted to try real-mode drivers for my CS4236B onboard sound, since the Win98 drivers seem to be a little buggy in WinME. I removed traces of the old (win9x) drivers through [ System Properties -> Device Manager ] and [ Control Panel -> Sounds and Multimedia -> Devices ] Then I ran the setup program for the Win 3.1 drivers. Everything went fine, rebooted, got a 'VSNDSYS.386 not present' error. So I added "device=vsndsys.386" to the [386enh] section of the system.ini file (tried both 'msconfig.exe' and a regular text editor). Everything worked great the next reboot (sound worked fine), but Windows ME seems to automatically delete the new entry from system.ini . I am running the patched IO.SYS / COMMAND.COM so that I can load the real-mode driver in CONFIG.SYS. I should probably note that when I run 'msconfig', I get an error that it cannot sync the environment variables. This has happened only since I patched the startup files and created AUTOEXEC.BAT & CONFIG.SYS.
