If you do not have 557 base RAM free, try changing /M:## to /M:5 in the
previous line.
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
Your mouse driver may need to be loaded differently. For example, if it is loaded
in your CONFIG.SYS, do not include this line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT. Refer to
the printout of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT to see if it is normally loaded there.

Supporting Your Peripherals
You may need to add lines to the basic boot disk CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
for Strike Commander to support certain sound cards, game cards and other hardware.
Consult your documentation for these products.
USING YOUR BOOT DISK
1. Turn your computer off, insert your new boot disk in your A: drive and turn the
computer back on. (If your CD drive is external, turn it on.)
2. Insert the CD-ROM disk (label side up) into your CD-ROM drive. (Some drives
may require that you put the disk into a CD caddy before inserting it in the drive itself.)
3a. If you haven’t yet installed the game, change to your CD-ROM drive by typing its
drive letter followed by a colon (e.g., d:) and pressing e, then continue from Step 3
in Installation (p. 4).
3b. If you’ve already installed the game and you are ready to play, go to the game
directory on your hard drive. (If you accepted our default suggestion, this directory is
SC.) Type
SCCD to get a menu of games, and select the game you want to play (STRIKE
COMMANDER
or TACTICAL OPERATIONS) from this menu.
CACHING
Strike Commander uses all available memory for its own internal disk caching. Adding
SmartDrive or any other caching utility may actually slow disk access.
I/O AND IRQ
If the install program reports difficulty finding your sound card, check to make sure
you’ve selected the correct I/O and IRQ. Consult your sound card documentation if you
continue to have difficulties.
