Problem

Solutions: A user was using DOS 5.0 and accidently deleted the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files. When she couldn't get into WP because of file handles, she created a CONFIG.SYS file with FILES=30 and BUFFERS=25, and an AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a prompt and path. But, WP still could not be entered. WPINFO only showed 10 file handles available. The customer then tried putting a DEVICE=C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE command in the CONFIG.SYS. This corrected the problem. Note: The DOS 5.0 SETVER.EXE command sets the version of DOS for programs designed to run in a lower version.
