Ever jump into a pool expecting the shallow end and realized you were in the deep end?Anyway.I have a copy of AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows which I purchased when I was in college several years ago. This - along with several other AutoCAD-related items - is part of the Autodesk Collection Plus from Addison-Wesley.This program installs via a DOS program which comes on a diskette. Once AutoCAD and any of the other modules are installed, they are launched through this DOS program.
You must shut down to DOS and open the program from a c-prompt (I think this program is known as a batch file. How to install intelliscreenx cracked for free. I'm trying to remember what I was told some time back.) You make your selections via the batch file, Windows launches, and then AutoCAD launches. Some of the programs in this package run in DOS. If you select one of them, Windows does not launch. I never install the DOS programs anyway.If you ONLY want to run AutoCAD for Windows, you can do so without going through the batch file BUT you won't have access to anything else.This is my problem:I am currently running Windows 98SE. When I shut down to DOS I don't have access to my mouse or my CD-ROM - both of which are required for installation.If you have any ideas they would be appreciated.

If you find you are stumped by this, could you point me in the right direction?Thanks,TravellerFanPS If I've posted in the wrong place please let me know. Perhaps copy the CD to a directory on your hard drive, go to DOS and installform the hard drive?DCPwrote in message news:5247034@discussion.autodesk.com.Ever jump into a pool expecting the shallow end and realized you were in thedeep end?Anyway.I have a copy of AutoCAD Release 12 for Windows which I purchased when I wasin college several years ago.

Wow, this is going way back in memory here.But, you need a DOS driver for both the mouse and the cd-drive. The mousedriver will only work if your mouse is actually hooked up to your computerthrough the PS/2 mouse port. DOS doesn't know what a USB port is, so if yourmouse is a USB mouse - forget it.The mouse driver is loaded in the autoexec.bat file that loads upon booting upinto DOS.If you still have the driver disc for the mouse, it may (though highly unlikely)have a MOUSE.COM or MOUSE.SYS file on it somewhere - this should be the mouseDOS driver, and if so, the.COM file is added to the autoexec.bat OR the.SYSfile added in the config.sys file. Use either one or the other, not both.There may be a generic mouse driver out there on the internet somewhere you canGoogle for if you don't have the DOS driver.The CDRom drive is a little trickier. It had a drive specific driver thatloaded in config.sys and included the drive letter to be assigned to it.

Sortof like:DEVICE=C:CD-ROMNECIDE.SYS /D:MSCD001if your drive was an NEC.Then the generic MS-DOS driver MSCDEX.EXE is loaded in the autoexec.bat file toacces the drive letter:LOAD=C:DOSMSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001Or if the driver is in windows, something like:LOADHIGH=C:WINDOWSCOMMANDMSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001or whatever directory under Windows the MSCDEX.EXE file is at.I got that info from to jog my memory.And for the mouse, look at if the links get wordwrapped.How all this works with a reboot into DOS from Win98? I'm don't really rememberbecause I never did that in 98.
I did do it in Win95, and it had two sets ofautoexec and config files (one for DOS and one for Windows) and it would renamethe extension into the booting autoexec.bat and config.sys files depending onwhether it booted to DOS or Windows.Joel.
