Thanks for the help. F8 got me where I needed to go, dos mode.
I removed all files named LEXBCES.EXE and LEXBCES.001 etc from my
c:/windows/system directory. I may have also removed LEXBCE.DLL.
After that, windows started up just fine.
The only problem I could find is that the length of the file stored on the
linux server was shorter, by about 10% or more, than the file freshly loaded
from the cdrom. Other files were of the proper length.
I have no idea why that file interfered with windows starting up properly.
Does windows start up all files ending with EXE in its c:/windows/system
directory at boot?
I reinstalled the printer software from the cdrom and rebooted windows. All
went fine for the installation but I STILL have the same problem. My windows
printer software is not transferring the file to be printed over to the
linux server. I will post about this in a different thread.
Thanks,
Joel
