I have no way to know what "starts OK" means. Please be more 
specific.

I noticed that in those boot entries, you are using MEMDISK with a 
path that is not "O:\syslinux\memdisk". You should copy the "memdisk" 
file from the official Syslinux 5.00 archive into the "O:\syslinux\" 
directory and then change those boot entries according to the new 
path for MEMDISK.

There is one additional "little" thing I notice in those entries. In 
my previous emails, I _specifically_ mentioned that Syslinux 5.00 has 
a bug regarding multiple text lines between TEXT HELP - ENDTEXT 
directives. The way you posted those entries in your email, they seem 
to be using more than one text line between those directives. If this 
is the way you are actually using them, then sadly you will need to 
temporarily change them, as the situation has not changed since I 
wrote about it before. Hopefully the bug will be solved in the near 
future. Please re-read my previous emails.

As above, not enough information. Please start with the changes I 
suggested (regarding "memdisk" and "TEXT HELP - ENDTEXT") and report 
back.
