Restart in MS-DOS

The PC will shut down (complete) without any problems. When I try to restart
in MS-Dos, the machine hangs with one task open called "Winoldap". I try to
end this task and although Winoldap disappears from the task window, the PC
just sits there with the empty desktop until I power the PC down. Any
suggestions?

"Winoldap" in Win9x is WINOA386.MOD, in the Windows\System folder.
It is a support file used to run DOS-based programs under Windows...."old apps". It
should load when a DOS program is running, and should close when it is done. A
DOS program may be poorly written, or not closing normally, and that is leaving
Winoldap open or causing a conflict. Try to find what DOS-based program is
responsible.

Also, are you using the default restart in MS-DOS Mode on the Start Shutdown menu,
or are you using a custom restart shortcut?

I am trying to use the default Restart in MS-DOS from the start button. I
will try your suggestions about the dos programs. Thanks!
