Which version of go32-v2 and which version of Info do you have installed? Info would print its version when invoked with --version; if that hangs as well, post the size and the date/time stamp of info.exe. As for go32-v2, post its size and timne stamp. > shell=c:\windows\command.com /e:32767 /p E:32767 is *way* too much (nobody should need 32KB of environment). I suggest not to exceed 6KB (the environment gets passed to subsidiary programs via the transfer buffer, whose size is 16KB by default, and you should leave enough space for the command-line arguments). > device=c:\windows\emm386.exe ram -d=64 What's that -d=64 for? As far as I know, it should be d=64 (or simply remove it). > DEVICEhigh=C:\CDROM\HIT-DVD.SYS /D:MSCD001 This is for Windows, right? If so, are you sure you need a CDROM driver? > DEVICEhigh=c:\windows\setver.exe Get rid of SETVER, it is evil. > lh c:\windows\smartdrv 10240 10240 /v Suggest to add c+, like this: lh c:\windows\smartdrv c+ 10240 10240 /v > set comspec=c:\windows\command.com Don't set COMPSEC yourself, let DOS/Windows do that.
