[comp.sys.ibm.pc] DOS 5 Upgrade - installation Problems

cjp310@coombs.anu.edu.au (Chris @ SSDA ...) (06/24/91)

Hi all,
	I've just been trying to install the DOS 5 Upgrade on my XT and am
having problems with the screen.

My System is an old Olivetti M24 with CGA, 640K, and a 20Mbyte HD

The installation goes fine, but when i boot up the screen refuses to scroll.
In the file README.TXT point

5.12 Olivetti System with a CGA Video Board
-------------------------------------------
An Olivetti system with a CGA video board may not scroll
correctly.  Add the /s switch to the DEVICE=ANSI.SYS command
in your CONFIG.SYS file.

Well I tried this and the whole thing just locked up and pressing the reset
switch with a boot disk in the A: drive is the only remedy.

Please note that this particular machine is about 5yrs old.

AnyHelp would be appreciated.

Thanks 

Chris
