   If this is a DOS program that is in a loop you will need to edit
autoexec.bat to get rid of the statement creating that nasty loop. I've
seen this happen a few times. Boot to MS-DOS Command Prompt from the
Boot menu (F8 key after seeing Starting Windows 95) and type: edit
autoexec.bat. Place a REM and a space in front of the line referring to
that program to make it ignore that line (or delete that line).
