Ann,

Stuck in DOS?  Bob had a good point - perhaps more information is necessary to diagnose 
your problem.  

However, if this is an issue involving corrupt Windows System files (meaning that 
somehow your Windows Operating System has become corrupt) - May I suggest a fairly 
simple fix.  Assuming that you are using Windows 95/98, perhaps you should just reload 
Windows over Windows.  By this, I mean - reload the entire operating system on top 
of the exisiting operating system.  This usually replaces bad/corrupt system files 
and makes your system work more efficiently.  Just make sure that you load the new 
OS install into the same C:\Windows directory and not a new one.  Warning:  if you 
reload Windows into another directory, you will have to reload ALL your programs. 
 

When you're installing the replacement OS - if/when a message pops up prompting you 
to either "keep existing file" or "replace them" - I'd suggest that you keep your 
exisiting files.

Let me know how it turns out.
