ok step by step but remember if not sure do nothing
1) at C> type in rename auotexec.bat autoexec.old
this should say 1 file copied if yes continune if no come back
2) type in edit autoexec.bat
this will bring up the blue screen
go to the bottom line that reads
C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM /WX
REM and a space befofe the C:\WINDOWS\WIN.COM /WX
When you put the REM in the config.sys file did you put a space?

[sueym]

yes i did save the change and i went back to check, their is a space

when i enter type autoexec.bat it says file not found

[peterm]

It must be you just checked it
do dir/p

[sueym]

before typing in autoexec.bat autoexec.old it went back to c>, it never said one copy filed

i just did the dir/p and the only file is autoexec.old

[peterm]

ok, i did the edit autoexec.bat and deleted that line and saved it

i went to edit config.sys and their is no line that says dos=shell, their is one that says REM dos=single and down farther one that says dos=high

[peterm]

delete the dos = shell and save then reboot
if this does not work whe you reboot go to safe mode
I have 1 trick left

[sueym]

their is no dos = shell

[peterm]

sorry no dos shell
ok reboot

[peterm]

sorry was re reading when I noticed no dos shell
if it does not reboot in windows go to safe mode
