Re: Computer problem: How to start Windows98

Darn, I'd like my computer (one specific computer) to start in DOS and I had to write some trick autoexec.bat to make it happen. grin

All of the above. EXIT, WIN or Windows will start Windows, if it's still there. I have removed all software from a drive and the computer still looked for windows 98 and booted into DOS. Laptop, so I imagine DOS was on a chip somewhere.

You might need to re-install 98 on that computer, which means settings will be lost, but if the HD isn't wiped clean, your old data might still be fine.

Good Luck!
