China DOS Union

Under Windows 98, why does the Tianhui Chinese system get screen corruption when using the boot disk made by SYS a:? But when booting with the Windows 98 boot disk and then running the Tianhui Chinese system, there is no problem. Why is this? Does the Tianhui Chinese system need any other files supported under DOS?

No one knows???

Someone would have answered you long ago if someone knew

I have also encountered this. It seems related to the monitor model, not a problem with the software itself. The solution is: blind operation.

Hehe, it seems like it's a memory issue~~~ he he

Change to another version to use!

Reasons related to the graphics card
I have noticed that sometimes issues occur with SIS integrated cards

Adding device=himem.sys in config.sys will solve the problem!

Generally, loading himem.sys is enough. But some machines need to add emm386.ese. I have encountered a machine where himem.sys doesn't work. I don't know why. Still, I hope experts can give an explanation.

The F11 recovery partition I made before used TW to prompt messages. Later, because of the above-mentioned screen flickering problem, I switched to the XZL Chinese operating system. I have done many tests on this phenomenon and proved that this screen flickering mostly occurs when the non-first partition is the boot partition and the disk is formatted by WIN98. I have tried both loading and not loading HIMEM.SYS, and the effect is the same. Changing the display properties is useless. I tested on multiple laptops and desktops, and some machines have the screen flickering phenomenon. Later, I found that it is very easy to solve. As long as the COMMAND.COM file from the DOS 7.10 boot disk is used to replace the corresponding file in WIN98 (or change it by SYS transfer after booting with DOS 7). After such treatment, the screen flickering phenomenon never occurs again. From this, it seems that there is a small problem in the interpretation of the instruction of TW requiring explicit mode by the COMMAND.COM file under WIN98.

It doesn't work! The boot disk made with SYS A: under Win98, and then replacing the COMMAND.COM file with the COMMAND.COM from the DOS 7.10 boot disk, when running the Tianhui Chinese system, there is still screen garbling, and all fonts are garbled.

I use the End Edition of Tianhui Chinese System 3.10 Pocket Edition that I uploaded to the forum. Everyone can download it and give it a try.

The floppy disk you used to boot never had screen flickering in my test. I used the main file of the 3.0 standard version. I have been using this software for more than two years. I only found screen flickering on the hard disk (see floor 10). The floppy disk never flickers. But the 3.0 version has the phenomenon of hiding two lines when running under XP. And the 3.1 final version you mentioned has no line missing phenomenon when running under XP, but the stability is not as good as 3.0, and it is easy to flicker. It is estimated that 3.1 was not modified by the author. It is better to use 3.0 under DOS.

Why do I never have screen flicker issues with this version? I run it under WIN98, WINME, and WINXP without any problems.
