SYMPTOMS

When you try to shut down Windows 95, your computer may stop responding (hang).

3. Click the Config.sys window, and then add the following line to the end of the Config.sys file

         device=<path>:\rambios.sys
   

   where <path> is the full path to the Rambios.sys file.

   NOTE: The Rambios.sys file is available from Matrox. To obtain this file, please contact Matrox Technical Support.
