Thanks also to Neil Rothwell I checked the MSDOS.sys and it seemed OK. In fact I had played with it before trying all possible combinations but no luck. Thanks again to Chris Kennington, I took your advise and added C:\windows\Win and it did work. Never-the less I do believe that there is still something else which causes the problem. The only error message that I observe is one which states that it is 'unable to locate Win386.exe and either check the path or re-install windows' which I did without any change. I have not worried about it because I did not think that win95 needed it. Thanks for all the help for it is a great learning exercise. Clem. -- Clem Tello
