Problem in Dos mod in Mellium Edition
Hello!
While working with DOS mod in Windows Mellium, it works fine but, if I try to EXIT from Dos mode by typing "exit" command, my computer gets hang up. And every time I have to restart the computer. Should I get the solution for that problem? Thank You Robash |

Problem in Dos mod in Mellium Edition
Please describe to us, step by step, how you are getting into DOS Mode in Windows
ME. There is no "Restart in MS-DOS Mode" option in Windows ME, so either you are opening a DOS box in Windows (the MS-DOS Command Prompt window), or you are restarting in DOS Mode using an added-on facility. Please note this is a Win98 group, and you will not get the best answers for Window ME issues here....use a WinME group. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm wrote in message ups.com...

Direct Boot to DOS (Cold booted DOS) a. Accessed through Boot Menu item, "Command Prompt Only". b. Windows is not started. c. Config.sys & Autoexec.bat are run, if present. d. Ctrl-Alt-Del boots Windows. "WIN" loads Windows. 2. "Quit" to DOS (Re-started MS-DOS mode) a. Accessed from "START, Shut Down, Re-start in MS-DOS mode", unless "exit to DOS" pif was converted to "Warm Boot". b. Accessed from any .pif whose "Properties, Program tab, Advanced button" is checked "MS-DOS mode" but NOT bolted "Specify a new MS-DOS configuration". c. Is NOT a warm boot; Config.sys & Autoexec.bat are NOT re-run, but are honored to the extent Windows has not mussed the environment they set. d. Dosstart.bat is run, if present. e. "EXIT" reloads Windows (from 4K stub), also without a boot. Ctrl-Alt-Del boots Windows. 3. Warm Booted MS-DOS mode ("Re-boot" to DOS) a. Accessed from a "Warm Boot" .pif that IS BOTH checked "MS-DOS mode" AND bolted "Specify a new MS-DOS configuration", in it's Properties, Program tab, Advanced button. b. Accessed from START button, if you've altered "exit to dos", as described. c. Does a warm boot, using Config.sys and Autoexec.bat as configured in the pif. (The system files are renamed *.wos & the pif files are extracted for the session.) d. Dosstart.bat is NOT run. e. "EXIT" restores the system Config.sys & Autoexec.bat & warm boots to Windows. (Ctrl-Alt-Del & "WIN" should NOT be used.) If you don't want to modify the "exit to dos" pif so that it does a warm boot, then create a pif this way: 1. "START, Find, Command.com". (Probably in C:\ & C:\Windows). 2. "R-Clk either, Send to, Desktop (create shortcut)". It will be named "MS-DOS Prompt". 3. R-Clk "MS-DOS Prompt" on the Desktop, & select Properties. 4. Click the Program tab & then the Advanced button. 5. Mark the MS-DOS Mode check box. Mark "Warn before entering..." as desired. 6. For a "Warm Boot to DOS" pif, mark the "Specify a New MS-DOS Configuration" button. If you do not do that, you will have a "Quit to DOS" pif. 7. OK you're way out. When you click that pif, you will either "warm boot" or "quit to DOS", depending on what you did in step 6. If it's a warm boot, then the Config.sys & Autoexec.bat inside the pif are the ones that will be in effect in your DOS session. Alter them inside the pif as desired, before clicking it. Cquirke's WARNING: Because of system/.pif file switching, give a Warm Boot .pif a chance to execute after clicking. If you click it a second time before getting to DOS, you may lose your system Config.sys & Autoexec.bat files. http://cquirke.mvps.org/9x/doscompat.htm There are even more DOS mentioned there.

In the message I sent, PCR's included content was *below* what I wrote. It's
that simple. It won't look any different on anyone else's newsreader. I know you are thinking about other messages above or below in the list of messages, but that wasn't my intent. Read my message as a stand-alone, outside any newsreader context. -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User www.grystmill.com "RobertVA" wrote in message ... Gary S.

It could well be cquirke will mention Millennium at his site, though.
