If I type in Windows\win.com at the prompt, it will continue loading Windows. The screens and things are not as I have set them. it looks like someones eleses screens. Any suggestions on this problem. Also looks like the colors are not right. thanks.

Here is an article that backs up Buster's thought, but also mentions msdos.sys... Take a look.

Want to thank Buster and Don for their help.
I read the article suggested and I will have to try the reinstall of Win 98 and find the verify option.
