Marty, I assume you have Win9X? Reboot and tap the F8 key every half second or so. You should get a menu of boot options. You can choose "command prompt only" or "command prompt safe mode". No need to use a floppy; also, some "non-MS" DOS versions are not fully compatible with windows if you want to do diagnostics or repair. You can configure Win9X to boot directly to DOS each time anyway normally (then type WIN to get to windows). With this you would not have this problem. .
