Installing and Configuring PGA Tour Golf 486 Under Windows 95

The following article describes the steps necessary to install and operate PGA Tour Golf 486 under Windows 95. This application requires MS-DOS Mode in order for it to function properly. You may need to modify the settings, created after running the installation program, to include the necessary drivers. If the program is installed using the Add/Remove Programs feature in Control Panel, Windows configures the application using the settings it feels necessary to make the game function. This setup is not, however, completely fool-proof. The rest of this article explains how to install and change the configuration if necessary.

   Config.sys

   dos=high,umb device=c:\windows\himem.sys devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe devicehigh=c:\mtm\mtmcdai.sys /d:mscd001

   This line will change depending upon your CD-ROM drive - our example shows a Mitsumi. The line can be found in the config.dos file) Note: The line listed below must be here if Plug-n-Play cards are installed, otherwise it is not needed.

   devicehigh=c:\plugplay\drivers\dos\dwcfgmg.sys

   Autoexec.bat

   set tmp=c:\windows\temp
   set temp=c:\windows\temp
   set prompt=$p$g
   set winbootdir=c:\windows
   set path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command
   set blaster=a220 i5 d1 h5 p330 t6
   

   (The set blaster line can be copied from the autoexec.dos file, it depends on your specific hardware. )

   set msinput=c:\msinput
   lh C:\windows\command\mscdex /d:mscd001
   lh c:\msinput\mouse\mouse.exe
   

   NOTE: (This application requires a mouse)

7. There is now a DOS icon in the directory that can be placed on the desktop for convenience. To move the icon simply drag the icon from the explorer and drop it on the desktop.
