Installing and Configuring FIFA International Soccer Under Windows 95

This application requires MS-DOS Mode to function. In order to do this, modify the settings, which were created after running the installation program, to include the necessary drivers. If it is installed using the Add/Remove Programs feature in Control Panel, Windows configures the application with the settings it feels are necessary to make the game function properly. However, it is not fool-proof. The rest of this article explains how to install and change the configuration.

Before installing the game, you will need to know the hardware settings of your sound card. If you already know this information, skip this part, otherwise grab something to write with and follow the procedure listed below to find the hardware settings:

Configuring FIFA International Soccer

To get FIFA International Soccer to properly operate, changes must be made to the MS-DOS mode configuration. To make these changes, perform the following steps:

1. Right-click on the My Computer icon and then choose Explore.
2. Double-click on the drive letter the application was installed to and then double-click on the directory. The default is FIFA.
3. Find the file FIFA.EXE, secondary-click on it, and then choose Properties.
4. Choose the Program tab and then click on the Advanced button.
5. Click on MS-DOS mode and then Specify a new MS-DOS Configuration and add these lines:

   CONFIG.SYS

   dos=high,umb
   device=c:\windows\himem.sys
   devicehigh=c:\windows\emm386.exe
   devicehigh=c:\mtm\mtmcdai.sys /d:mscd001
   

   (This line can be copied from your config.dos file, it depends on the CD-ROM drive you have - our example shows a Mitsumi quad speed)

   Note: The line listed below must be here if a Plug-n-Play cards are installed, otherwise it is not needed.

   devicehigh=c:\plugplay\drivers\dos\dwcfgmg.sys

   AUTOEXEC.BAT

   set tmp=c:\windows\temp
   set temp=c:\windows\temp
   set prompt=$p$g
   set winbootdir=c:\windows
   set path=c:\windows;c:\windows\command
   set blaster=a220 i5 d1 h5 p330 t6

   (The set blaster line should be copied from your autoexec.dos file, as it depends on your specific hardware settings.)

   lh C:\windows\command\mscdex /d:mscd001

6. There will then be a DOS icon in the directory that can be placed on the desktop for your convenience. You can just drag the icon from the explorer and drop it on the desktop.
