Restart in DOS Mode ...

Can we try an experiment?

First, copy your DOS shortcut to a folder where you don't mind a bit of temporary clutter. (Don't MOVE it, COPY it: Hold down Ctrl key)

Once you have this lab rat in its proper cage, right click it and select Properties. Click the Advanced button found under the Program tab.

Check the MS-DOS mode box. Don't change anything else here, but check the Close on Exit box once you're back on the Program tab.

Test this shortcut. It should put you into DOS mode just like Start/Shutdown/Restart in DOS does.

Please post your results so we can move forward.

Hope this helps, PW.
