You really should move it to the top. There appears to be some critical
timing issue with other commands.

My EPW.Exe is down at Line-204 [but, I have a bunch of comment lines
that pushes it about 40 lines.  So, moving the HelperW up should also
be a priority.

My settings are simply following instructions from others.  I have no
real idea what they mean.

One of my comments in Config.Sys:
  Rem  PSD=ACPI.PSD /SMP  <==== Add /APIC <==== BOOT HANG!
Try eliminating '/APIC' and see what happens.
