breastle screen for HLA Adventure Need help designing one 970

Here're somethings...

For XP-Win2K, using Explorer: 1) Create a text file called ANSI.NT in %systemroot%-system32

2) The following information I pulled from the link in the REMark. into ANSI.NT, leaving out the remarks if so desired... REM REM ------------------------------------------------- REM ANSI.NT REM ------------------------------------------------- REM dosonly device=%systemroot%-system32-himem.sys devicehigh=%systemroot%-system32-ansi.sys files=40 dos=high,umb

3) Right-click upon %systemroot%-system32-command.com

4) Create a short-cut

5) Right-click upon the newly created short-cut, click on Properties

6) On the General tab, change the MS-DOS Command Prompt to: ANSI-DOS (this is the Explorer name as seen inside Explorer)

7) On the Program tab, change the MS-DOS Command Prompt to: ANSI-COMMAND (this is displayed as the Window breastle seen at the top of the Window and in the Taskbar)

8) Click upon the Advanced button (of the Program tab, not the General tab)

9) For the config filename type in: %SystemRoot%-SYSTEM32-ANSI.NT

10) That will be all that is needed, you can test it out now. NOTE: that fiddling with the things in the Memory tab can cause problems. Turning on EMS effectively loaded ANSI.SYS but ANSI.SYS did stopped working. I tried EMS settings at 1024 and Auto, and ANSI.SYS stopped working.

With Expanded (EMS) Memory set to NONE, ANSI.SYS loads and works properly.

With Expanded (EMS) Memory set to Auto or a specific number, ANSI.SYS loads up but fails to parse and handle the ANSI escape characters.

If anyone knows how to fix the EM issue, that would be great.
