Sorry about the double-post, but I have been able to use start successfully from the MS-DOS command prompt in Windows 95 and Windows Me. Under Windows 98, I typed "start /?" from the C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND directory, and it still says "This program cannot be run in DOS mode". The START.EXE file is 28,672 bytes, dated 04/23/99 10:22p, so it's the original. Maybe some other program install changed a vital DLL? Or can some TweakIU setting cause this problem?
