Hi

I've been looking for an answer to this but I
don't think there is one.  Here's part of a MS
WinME support chat transcript from last Sept..

Guest_Mike_MS says:
[QUESTION]: Henry: WHen I had win 98 I had in the config device=ansi.sys to
load the ansi.sys I can not load the ansi.sys in the config because winme
does not read the config file...

Guest_Mike_MS says:
[ANSWER]: You are correct that Config.Sys is no longer parsed.
Unfortunately, there is no way to specifically direct Windows Millennium to
load this, it looks that you'll have to use a WinME Bootdisk to accomplish
the loading of Ansi.Sys and running Dos-Based applications that require
this. Otherwise, we no longer have support for ANSI.SYS.
