    Hey im trying to fix my friends computer and i dont know what these are can anyone tell me?

    In the msconfig under Config.sys

    [ ] Files=50
    [ ] DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
    [ ] DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
    rem DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
    REM [Header]
    REM == PISETUP Begin Delete ==
    REM == PISETUP End Delete ==
    REM [CD-ROM Drive]
    REM [Miscellaneous]
    REM [Display]

    and then under Autoexec.bat theres

    [ ] @if exist C:\WININST0.400\SuWarn.Bat call C:\WININST0.400\SuWarn.Bat
    [ ] @if exist C:\WININST0.400\SuWarn.Bat del C:\WININST0.400\SuWarn.Bat
    [ ] SET SNDSCAPE=C:\WINDOWS
    [ ] SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T2

    If for any reason Setup does not finish and the computer needs to be
    restarted, the following lines in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file prompt you to run
    Setup again and choose the Smart Recovery option:
    @if exist c:\wininst0.400\suwarn.bat call c:\wininst0.400\suwarn.bat
    @if exist c:\wininst0.400\suwarn.bat del c:\wininst0.400\suwarn.bat

    Just to add to what robo and endi said, except for the 2 ...suwarn.bat lines, all the stuff in config.sys and autoexec.bat (including the soundblaster stuff) are only needed for programs that run in MS-DOS mode, so, I agree, for troubleshooting purposes everything you listed can be unchecked.
