Installation on T1000XE Computer |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer tried to boot WordPerfect after installing and received the message "Insufficient File Handles to Run WordPerfect." He is using a Toshiba laptop T1000XE Portable Personal Computer. In the Toshiba computer there is a predefined CONFIG.SYS file in RAM. The computer has to be directed that another CONFIG.SYS file exists and to use this file. This is done through the setup procedures, and the computer stores these default settings. If the battery supporting this special battery-backed RAM is allowed to run out entirely, the settings are lost, and the computer forgets to look for the CONFIG.SYS file. The solution would be to reset the default setting using the SETUP10 program that comes with the computer. The necessary steps are listed below and can be found in the Toshiba User's Manual called The First Time on pages 2.10-2.11 and 2.24-2.24. The Configuration Files Like other MS-DOS compatible computers, the T1000XE executes the commands and drivers in the configuration files AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS at system startup. A CONFIG.SYS file contains configuration information used by MS-DOS to allocate resources for various features. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file runs your own selection of programs every time you start the T1000XE computer. Predefined CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT exist in DOS-ROM. Creating a CONFIG.SYS file When booting from DOS-ROM, the T1000XE uses the predefined CONFIG.SYS file. If you want to change the system startup, you must create a CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory of drive C. This new CONFIG.SYS file on drive C cannot be used directly. Use SETUP10 to copy this file into a special area of battery-backed RAM. This section shows you how to create a small CONFIG.SYS file using the MS-DOS COPY command. 1. At the C:\> prompt, type COPY CON CONFIG.SYS and press Enter. CON stands for console (display and keyboard). The cursor drops to the next line and waits for your input. 2. Type: FILES=20 BUFFERS=20 Press Enter after each command. 3. When you have finished typing the configuration commands, press F6. MS-DOS displays ^Z, the end-of-file marker. 4. Press Enter, and MS-DOS ends the copy command and saves the file. Copying the CONFIG.SYS file into RAM 1. Type SETUP10 and press Enter. The SETUP10 menu appears on the screen. 2. Press the Right Arrow key to select Yes for the Set The RAM CONFIG.SYS file option. This option tells the T1000XE to look for a CONFIG.SYS file in RAM. 3. Press the Down Arrow key to select the CONFIG.SYS file option. 4. To copy the new CONFIG.SYS file from drive C, press the Right Arrow key to choose RAM. 5. Press Enter. The SYSTEM SETUP menu displays: Set the RAM CONFIG.SYS file =Yes You can copy CONFIG.SYS file to DOS-ROM. Copy source file is C:\CONFIG.SYS. Copy target file is CONFIG.SYS in DOS-ROM. The Instruction menu displays: Do you want to change the source file name? [Yes/No] Set 6. You have created a CONFIG.SYS file and stored it in the root directory of drive C. Press Enter to select No. |
