My System is an old Olivetti M24 with CGA, 640K, and a 20Mbyte HD The installation goes fine, but when i boot up the screen refuses to scroll. In the file README.TXT point 5.12 Olivetti System with a CGA Video Board ------------------------------------------- An Olivetti system with a CGA video board may not scroll correctly. Add the /s switch to the DEVICE=ANSI.SYS command in your CONFIG.SYS file. Well I tried this and the whole thing just locked up and pressing the reset switch with a boot disk in the A: drive is the only remedy. Please note that this particular machine is about 5yrs old. AnyHelp would be appreciated. Thanks Chris -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Chris Patterson | Ph: +61 6 2492185 Social Science Data Archives | AARNet: Chris@coombs.anu.edu.au Australian National University | "I wonder what happens if I ..."
