Whew, that was close… I was tinkering with my CONFIG.SYS. I have one that gives me all the memory for AutoCAD and 3D Studio, and another for Windows, and I swap between them. I was reading through the 3D Studio configuration guide again, trying to reset everything so I could live with one CONFIG.SYS, and boom … On a warm reboot, suddenly my system said "Invalid or corrupt COMMAND.COM" and it wouldn't boot. Come to think of it, I think the last thing before the reboot was that Windows crashed soon after startup, it "couldn't find KRNL386.EXE" The only thing that saved my behind was the regular use of MIRROR and Central Point's PC Tools. It revived the system from the Emergency disk. So, can someone show me a few more signposts (or maybe even a CONFIG.SYS) that shows how to share memory configuration between Autodesk products and Windows?
