Long time no come to the forum to play, haha~~

Save the code as test.cmd under 2000/XP/2003/Vista and try double-clicking to run it~~


@echo off

electronixtar hasn't been here for a long time, and as soon as he comes, he brings something fun. Plus points.

No effect

Edited the code several times, let's try again~~

What needs to be installed? The code is directly saved as a CMD file and runs only with pause

It shouldn't be like that. XP comes with it by default.

Check your system32 directory

command.com

config.nt

Paste the content of config.nt here

The file config.nt doesn't exist...

Hehe, it seems that you've been optimized out.

Not bad, mine is available here. If there's no config.nt, try saving the following few lines of code.


DOSONLY
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=40
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\System32\ANSI.SYS /x

Haha, there's something new again...

electronixtar always brings us wonderful things...

Secretly tell everyone, Chinese ones can also be colorful

Alas, no effect.

I don't know what other problems there are... That file is there. I initially mistook it for WINDOWS; that one is in SYSTEM32.

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

Why can it only be displayed once??? The second time it runs, nothing is displayed at all!

config.nt
DOSONLY
dos=high, umb
device=%SystemRoot%\system32\himem.sys
files=40
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\System32\ANSI.SYS /x
