The CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files contain system startup drivers, settings, and paths, and you may need to verify the accuracy of these entries. To determine which drivers to load, press F8 at the Starting Windows 95 message and select Step-By-Step Confirmation.

To check entries in CONFIG.SYS, perform the following tasks:

• Verify that only necessary drivers are loading.
• Check for invalid syntax.

To check entries in AUTOEXEC.BAT, perform the following tasks:

• To display environment variables including COMSPEC, type set at the command prompt.
• Verify that paths are valid.
