To install a driver, add a DEVICE command line to your
CONFIG.SYS file similar to the following, using the MS-DOS EDIT
utility or a word processor that saves text files in ASCII format:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\XXXXXXXX.XXX [options]
Where XXXXXXXX.XXX is the name of the device driver, for
example, HIMEM.SYS. You must then restart the computer to
load the new
CONFIG.SYS settings and activate the driver(s).
