DHM,

Thanks for the great information on my New Years puzzler, I gave your advice a try, 
unfortunately the only thing that will come up is
 
Type the name of the Command Interpreter (e.g., C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM)
A>

Regardless of whatever information I type in.  

I have tried three Windows 98 boot discs and regardless of which disc I use, I can 
only get a flashing cursor in the upper left corner.  When I insert the Windows 98SE 
disc in the CD drive and wait +/- 6 minutes or so, the system will list Starting 
Windows 98… then it will pause another 8 to 10 minutes skip a line and add the additional 
information as listed above.  

Thanks again,
Sam Johnson
