Can you please give a few more details? Where can the STARPORT.EXE you use be downloaded? Are you actually using the EDR-DOS kernel? config.sys and autoexec.bat rather look much like a FreeDOS installation. If you run it under the FreeDOS kernel, the FreeDOS user mailinglist is the right place to ask.

For the start I recommend that you debloat your config.sys and autoexec.bat and test if it runs with minimal versions of these.

i found the source! SHELLHIGH=C:\fdos\bin\4dos.COM C:\fdos\bin /E:1024 /P:autoexec.bat the /P:autoexec.bat is causing the starport error if i rename autoexec.bat to auto.bat and change the /P parameter to /P:auto.bat it works flawlessly!

i just tested it let me run more tests
