Hi there...
I have Win98, and almost every time I start windows it starts in MS-DOS
Compatibility mode. In the system properties in tells me something about my
HDs C: and D:.
But this happens in a (I suppose) compleatly random mode, bacause sometime
it starts just fine...
It also tells me that this happens because a driver in autoexec.bat or
config.sys could not be loaded in normal mode, so windows to make it run
goes into MS-DOS compatibility mode.
I've checked this files and all that is written on it are my contry keybord
configurations.
But for you to see, here it is:

  - Autoexec.bat
mode con codepage prepare=((850) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ega.cpi)
mode con codepage select=850
keyb po,,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\keyboard.sys

  - Config.sys
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=351,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys


Do you know any solution for this?
Can you help me?

Thanks in advance...
