Troubleshooting D-3
Problems in MS-DOS
Problem
SOUND or BLASTER environment could not be found.
Cause
The command to set up the SOUND or BLASTER
environment might not be included in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
When you install your audio card’s software, the
commands are automatically added to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that both environment strings
are set up when your system restarts.
Solution
To add the command to set up the BLASTER
environment in the respective system files, run
DIAGNOSE (See “Understanding the Installation” on
page B-1.).
To set up the SOUND environment, insert the statement
SET SOUND=C:\SB16
into the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file using a text editor. Reboot your system.
Problem
Error message “Out of environment space”.
Cause
The system environment space is used up.
Solution
Add the statement
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM
/E:512 /P
to the CONFIG.SYS file. /E defines a new
size for the system environment space. You can choose
a higher value if the environment size is already
512 bytes. (Normally, the next value is 1024 bytes.)
For details, refer to your DOS manual.
