Title: win98se
Post by: moon mistress on July 02, 2010, 10:57:50 PM

Computer is in DOS an I need to either restart it to get back to windows98 screen OR shut this thing down.  The person previously working on my computer did not return it to its original setting, I tried to shut down the computer, but did not notice it said "Restart computer in DOS mode" until after I had clicked OK.  Now I'm on a command page and it won't do anything I ask it to...like...Exit, or shut down, or restart,or close.  The person working on the computer is not available until after the 4th.  I don't wish to leave the computer on in this mode for the next 4 days. I need to know the correct command to give the computer.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I'm a newbe to computers and I seem to be learning everything the hard way.  Someone please help me !!   Thanks...........Moon Mistress

If in DOS, turn it off.
