Can't you just change the driver back in MS-DOS running SETUP.exe inside the Windows directory?

"first you must get to dos"

Amazingly, for Win311 to work, DOS must already be running, so your 'solution' was improbably and unnecessarily roundabout

In reality, all you'd needed to do would've been to exit Windows (yet another reason not to have 'win' in autoexec.bat)

I'm not one of those who think Bill Gates is the devil. I simply suspect that if Microsoft ever met up with the devil, it wouldn't need an interpreter.
