How do I go about Modifying Autoexec.bat and config.sys on my computer? Some programs of mine stall like 'The Sims' and 'Deus Ex' so I need 2 free up lots of memory I guess by modifying these 2 files?

You shouldn't need to modify these files for windows based games. How do you now that memory is the problem? My system has a P11350, 128Mb of ram and a 16Mb Agp 3dfx card and runs Deus Ex quite happily. My autoexec.bat and config.sys files are the basic ones from a fresh Windows install, i.e not much in them. You only need to modify them for Dos based games which require a lot of base memory (the first 640k) or which don't like expanded memory. Try installing the latest drivers for your video card, and/or buying more memory if you have less than 64Mb. Make sure you have plenty of free space on your C drive for the Windows swap file, at least 200Mb.
