I'm assuming that something in Windows is locking the disk, and that if it finds the disk unlocked, it will re-establish the lock. As you say, we'll know in time. Cheers, PW. P.S. I'm still wondering why clicking the DOS icon will cause the screen to go blank. So blank a re-boot is requried. Has anyone made any progress on this? I wonder what happens when they click Start, Run, and type COMMAND into the box? Wish I knew enough to comment on anything regarding dos but I don't. Only semi-familiar with a few of the things you have graciously posted on this thread. tc :-)

I wonder what happens when they click Start, Run, and type COMMAND into the box? I'll try that after the market is closed.
