switching between dos mode and windows
I have a dos program that i run in the full dos mode. when
activated the machine boots into dos. Upon exit i have the machine reboot into windows. Now every time i exit the dos program, when the machine reboots it goes back into the dos program. If i call win.com from the C prompt, the machine boots into the dos program. Any ideas on how i can break this loop and get this machine back to normal. Help

If this doesn't work try typing EXIT at the prompt then hit enter.

Yes. Just go straight into msdos real mode when you want to run this
program. Keep windows out of it. Reboot when done. "Gerome" wrote in message ... I have a dos program that i run in the full dos mode. when activated the machine boots into dos.
