i've got this windows 98 boot disk
http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=196

it's not bad.. but it doesn't have MODE.COM which I want, so as to set rate and delay, to make the keyboard more receptive.

I tried a "mode.com" from an ME boot disk but got the message like, incorrect dos version.

And what do people here use for their boot disks? 6.22? or like a 9X one eg DOS 7? presumably something with all the basic commands all there and working and no "incorrect dos/msdos version". Anything online with it?

Haven't had the need for one for many years. Always got my boot disks from Bootdisk.com or allbootdisks.com/

the site you suggest does not have MODE.COM on its Windows 98 boot disk and i'm asking about MODE.COM Notice it is not in the list.

and all the bootdisk.com win98 disks don't have MODE.COM either.

or try setver.exe

I tried putting setver.exe from an msdos 6.22 boot disk on there.

i've put device=c:\abc\setver.exe in config.sys

then I see running c:\def\mode.com gives incorrect dos/msdos version

I try running setver.exe and it says it's not loaded and should be put in config.sys, though i've put it there.

it's a 98 boot disk so maybe it doesn't work 'cos it's a 6.22 setver.exe?

FWIW here's my config.sys it's a bit complicated looking I didn't write it, I got it from
http://files.extremeoverclocking.com/file.php?f=196
but I just added setver.exe from a 6.22 boot disk, with a line in config.sys referring to setver.exe

When I execute setver.exe after loading it up, I find it says setver is not loaded. I doubt that's to do with my config.sys Though i'd guess that maybe it's either that, or the fact that it's from a 6.22 boot disk.

This mode.com from a win98 boot disk, which would be useful to me..
http://58.148.120.58/130128/01_98/WINDO ... D/MODE.COM

Is a broken link.

And no luck with setver.exe (or the one I have anyway copied from a 6.22 boot disk) as mentioned.

my setver.exe from msdos 6.22 isn't giving incorrect msdos version when I run it(good) but even with it loaded, the mode.com I am using still gives incorrect dos/msdos version so Maybe I need setver.exe from a win98 boot disk, but I don't have it.

Hi, I was searching about the use of MODE.COM and found Thesse links, This shows you how to creae it:
Link 1

And This one have Dos 6.22 Boot/System Disk Among other versions, I think that what you need
Link 2
But it seems that MODE.COM Only Exist in Windows ME Standard and Custom

I hope that help you

thanks, that w98 mode.com worked! And that site's got w98 setver.exe so loads nicely too. I run setver it doesn't say it's not loaded, so it's loaded!
