Getting out of MS-DOS Mode??

(1/2) > >>

Idontknowcomputers:
Okay I dont know if this belongs here or not, but here it is. I have Windows 95 or 98, I dont know which one. But I restarted me computer in MS-DOS Mode, and now I cant get out! Someone said to type exit and press enter, I did, but it just restarts and comes back up in MS-DOS. Anyone know whats going on here?

Hi,

When PC is restarting press the F8 key constantly as it boots up - before it says "starting windows". This will give you a choice of modes to boot into. Select either safe mode if you still have a problem, or normal mode if you want to get back to normal.

Remember, before you do the crime, think about the time.

I dont really know what you mean about a crime?but thanks, ill try it.

Idontknowcomputers:
No, it only let me log in under safe mode, there were all these other options but I dont know what they are. I tried normal, and it took me right back????

johnwill:
Just for laughs, type WIN at the DOS prompt and see if it fires up Windows.

If so, I suspect that the MSDOS.SYS file has GUI=0 instead of GUI=1 in it, change that and the system will run as before.  I believe MSCONFIG will allow you to change this parameter, but I don't have a W98 system to check...
