Subject: [PCBUILD] returning to windows


I went into the ms dos mode and now I can't get back to windows. When the
screen comes up it is at the C:\ prompt. It flashes the window 98 screen but
won't go to windows.  Does anyone have an answer for this? Thank You

------------------------------

We had a Dell system that did this to us. The "fix" that Dell gave us was to
rename the config.sys file to config.old or some other name so it would not
load it and restart the machine. There is some bit in the file (even though
it seems to report a length of zero) that causes the machines to do this. By
renaming it, you don't lose the file.
