WINDOWS

Summary:

If the Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows Setup program refuses to run, you may need to increase the size of the FILES and BUFFERS statements in the CONFIG.SYS file. A good starting place for FILES and BUFFERS in the CONFIG.SYS is 40 and 20, respectively.

The PowerPoint Setup program must be run from within Windows version 3.00, running in protected mode (Standard or Enhanced Mode). Setting FILES and BUFFERS higher in the CONFIG.SYS file provides for the resources needed by Setup.
