Autoexec in winXP non si esegue
ho un problema di cui riporto in calce la prolissa descrizione, preparata in inglese per l'invio ad un esperto(?) estero e mi è venuto in mente che, forse, anche qui "in casa" qualcuno potrebbe darmi una dritta (purchè conosca l'inglese e XP).
grazie per l'attenzione, e ancor più per una eventuale soluzione.

-------
1 - a QuickBasic program (an msdos program, not a windows program) was working well in a DOS
window under win98.
2 - we now try to run it on winXP
2.1 - on SOME machines (called the "BAD" ones) it cannot be run under winXP because of "not
enough memory". consistently.
2.2 - on OTHER machines (called the "GOOD" ones) it runs under winXP without trouble.
consistently.
3 - the version of XP (home edition) is identical an ALL machines:
vers. 5.1 build 2600.xpsp-sp2-gdr.050301-1519: service pack 2
analysis
--------
4 - an investigation vith the DOS command "mem /c" shows a difference in the position of the
"dosx" 34 kb component:
4.1 - on the GOOD machines it sits in upper memory, leaving 620 k or so of largest executable
program size
4.2 - on the BAD machines it sits with 34 k in conventional memory, leaving less than 600 k of
largest executable program size
5 - the file \windows\system32\autoexec.nt seems identical on ALL machines
it contains a line "lh dosx ..." (Load High)
it also has a line "set blaster ..." to set an environment variable called "blaster".
6 - an investigation with the DOS command "set | more" shows that:
6.1 - on the BAD machines the variable "blaster" is missing, giving an evidence that
autoexec.nt has not been executed, an explanation for "dosx" not being Loaded High
6.2 - on the GOOD machines the variable "blaster" is listed suggesting that autoexec.nt has
been executed.
questions
---------
7.1 - what parameter hidden somewhere causes "\windows\system32\autoexec.nt" to be executed?
7.2 - may possibly the "profiles" have something to do with this?
8 - useless to say, a patient visit to the microsoft site was fruitless.

Ciao,
non so rispondere alla tue domande, pero' posso suggerirti che per le applicazioni DOS sotto WinXP si puo' personalizzare il fie autoexec.nt e il file config.nt, specificandone nelle proprieta' il nuovo percorso.
1) premere il tast-dx sull'icona di collegamento
2) Finestra Program (XP inglese)
3) Pulsante Advanced (XP inglese)
A presto,
Eugenio
