Little Tux WINDOWS ME
Patch for Loadlin
Step by Step 		Little Tux

 
 
These instructions will allow you to apply a patch to your Windows ME
using an "InstallShield" tool to automate the patching process.
WARNING: Applying patches to running operating systems can be risky.
If you apply this LoadLin patch to Windows ME, you do so at your own risk.
Please make a backup copy of the 3 original files below before patching!
 
Note that whenever the instructions that follow refer to "C:\WINDOWS",
please specify the correct directory in which Windows ME is installed.
 
1. Create a temp directory (C:\TEMP) and copy into it:
 
"C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM"
"C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\EBD\IO.SYS"
"C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\REGENV32.EXE"
 
2. Make sure that the three files are writable,
    by running from the temp directory:
 
"ATTRIB -R -H -S *.*"
 
3. Download WinME13.exe into the temp directory.
 
4. Execute the patch in the temp directory:
 
"WINME13"
 
5. After the patch installs, do the following:
 
Copy the patched files to the following locations:
 
"IO.SYS" to "C:\"
"COMMAND.COM" to both "C:\WINDOWS\" and "C:\"
"REGENV32.EXE" to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM"
 
That's it for the patch!
 
NOTE: The line stating "Starting Windows Emergency Boot...",
            that you will see at startup, has no effect at all on Windows.
            It appears because the patch is using the IO.SYS provided
            with the Windows ME Emergency Boot Disk.
 
6. Please return to step 8 in the LOADLIN step by step.
 
 
 
NOTE: Patch reversal instructions (if something goes wrong):
            Delete IO.SYS from C:\
            Copy ORIGINAL COMMAND.COM to C:\ and C:\WINDOWS
            Copy ORIGINAL REGENV32.EXE to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
