Excellent troubleshooting tool:

sysinternals.com

The Autoruns program runs on Win 9x/NT/2000, and will show you everything that is being run on the startup of your computer (from all registry settings, and the startup folder[s]).

Nice, small little executable, and quite handy.

>>>Now DOS will be only a mouseclick away.

:)) Actually, I put it on the desktop, or left it on the desktop, as being just as handy (unless one is opposed to icon clutter).

I hit the jackpot with Msdosdriv.txt which refers you to both the Windows CD (which I have), the Config.txt file & other hints for help with MS-DOS commands. As well as the drivers!

Am just guessing that a 50 line DOS window would put a static display on a large monitor & eliminate the problem of the text flashing by before you can read it (& you can't scroll in DOS). And to get the next 50 lines, maybe you would press enter...But am not following how to go about getting the window to behave that way, ie creating it.

Thank you, again!
