My computer is really started to act up. When i start it up, it brings up the window 95 logo then goes back to dos and displays " Samsung cd/dvd-rom device driver, Rev m2.31

Larry.
At the c: prompt type cd\windows and hit enter it should look like this c:\windows>
then type win and hit enter. this will start
windows up but it sounds like their is more
going on there than a Missing line of command.

Howdy, I must agree with Jmeara on this one. If your system was working fine and booting to 95 without problems before I would take it to a tech unless you are fimliar with editing the msdos.sys file which is a hidden and system file. It doesn't sound like a big problem but if you dont' know what you are doing it can become one.

Laters,

It seems like if changing to the directory of
Windows and typing win works then you should edit one of your boot files. I am currently facing a problem with the same driver you are using for your cd-rom so I would be grateful if you could e-mail your drivers to me since i cannot find it on the Web. If you have an instalation diskette PLEASE (!!!!!) attach all the files to the email message before sending it...
Thanks
