Setting the BootGUI to 1 had no effect. The F5 booted in to the GUI in safe mode. Thanks All

Are you trying to make it boot into DOS by default, or do you want it to boot to the GUI? If the second, BootGUI should be set to 1.

The line "dos=single" is not there. I had already changed the "BootGUI" to zero. Will try the F5 trick next. ________________________________ From: Damien Solodow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 10:32 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Windows 98 question. At the dos prompt, take the system, hidden and read-only attributes off of msdos.sys and edit it. It is a text file, and there should be a line that says something like dos=single. Delete that line, save the file, put the attributes back on and reboot.

Does anyone remember how to get Windows 98 to not boot into DOS mode, C: prompt. That is boot into the GUI. I have removed the /WX switch from WIN.COM without any effect. I am working on this machine as a favor for a co-worker.
