Yea so i wanted to get in real dos mode with my Windows ME. if you're not familiar with the process, io.sys, command.com, and regenv32.exe are all patched. and then autoexec.bat and config.sys are replaced with new files.

The problem is that I never backed up the autoexec.bat or config.sys files. so now my start up is really screwed.

the biggest problem is from zone alarm, which wont start because of a vsinit.dll problem and locks up my internet.

i'm found unpatched io.sys and command.com files, but the regenv32.exe is a hard file to find. if anyone else has windows me please help me and email that regenv32 to me.

is there any way i could find out what should go back into the config.sys and autoexec.bat files?

currently, autoexec.bat has :

c:\windows\win.com

and config.sys has

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

help please!

regenv32.exe can be extracted from WIN_17.CAB

command.com can be extracted from PRECOPY1.CAB

IO.SYS can be extracted from PRECOPY1.CAB as WINBOOT.SYS and renamed IO.SYS

CONFIG.SYS is normally empty.

AutoExec.bat normally looks like:

SET COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
SET windir=C:\WINDOWS
SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
SET PROMPT=$p$g
SET TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

ok so i replaced the files but when i restarted the computer, it said

"windows millenium edition emergency boot (which is what it's supposed to say because of the patches io.sys file?)

Please press ctrl+alt+del to restart your computer

it's stuck on that. to boot it to windows again i had to copy the patched files back
