Hi Bernie; You can fix your autoexec.bat file. Select Windows Explorer - select the root directory (C: drive) - locate autoexec.bat in right pane - left click it - click on File (upper left) -click on Edit - put a :: at the front of the material you think is bad - click on File - Click on Save - Click on exit Try your system. If it works go back to autoexec.bat and delete every thing on the lines you blocked with the the :: If you are still having problem list a copy of your autoexec.bat file to this thread. Bob G
