Do you mean that you are able to type commands in it? Or is it an error message that appears?
If possible, try:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot

thank you for the reply. I did try both of them. I don't know much about the DOS stuff, but the windows start screen is behind the little DOS screen and I can type commands in the DOS window, but it really has taken be nowhere and each time I close the DOS screen it trys to open windows, then the DOS screen comes back. I have been messing with it all day today.

Does the Task Manager appear if you do CTRL + ALT + DELETE ?

Hi, nanazap. How's your holiday? Has the problem been solved or is it still there?
What's your previous Vista version and what's the Windows version of the CD that you're using to upgrade to Windows 7?
Did you ever try the upgrade again?
Does the following link help?
