It's possible that in your AUTOEXEC you loaded a TSR and piped its
output to NUL in order to avoid seeing the startup text on the screen.
Since the TSR never exits, it may not have closed the standard output
device (NUL, in this case), and thus further attempts to modify that
device result in a sharing violoation.

I don't know if this can actually happen, but it doesn't hurt to go
look.
