    Default Little Help?? upper memory/external cdrom

    I could use a little assistance. I have a sony z505s laptop, running win 98. Whenever I plug the cd-rom (sony pc card pcga-cd51) in, it says that windows could not recogize the pc card because the is no memory area available, and that there is a memory manager in my config.sys file excluding the regions AOOO and FFFF. When I check the config.sys file there is nothing there. I think I am FAIRLY knowlegeable about windows and how to fix problems, but I'm wrong a lot. Any assistance would be greatly appriciated. Thank You

    delete the config.sys and autoexec.bat

    remake them, making sure there is NOTHING in them.

    go to:

    Start => Run => type in: 'MSCONFIG'

    see whats in the startup tab, kill anything you don't need.

    you can modify the other tabs if you're good at it.
