CONFIG.NT - How do I increase Files=40 ?

kirbymoe · 07-03-2009, 03:47 PM

Hi I'm having the same problem as this user. Despite doing exacting what you described, when I go back to config.nt and try to change the files=40 I get the original error message when I go to save:

"Cannot create the C:\Windows\System32\config.nt file"

I really need this issue resolved as the old program i'm trying to install is needed for my dad's buiness.

Hi -

I moved your post & made this thread for you. Referenced thread = Increasing the value of files command?

Please provide system info and exact nature of problem.

Are you running Vista x86 or x64? What is the 16-bit ap[p you are trying to run?

Regards. . .
