Start the machine and when you see the line "starting windows9x" hit the f8 key.
You will then have a number of options including the ability to start in Dos mode.
You may also wish to start in safe mode and uninstall the drivers if you can.

Subject: Need windows help
I was trying to load printer drivers from a linux server onto two windows9x
clients, one 95, one 98, for a lexmark z53 printer, which works just swell
with linux.
The drivers downloaded, but rebooting windows in both machines just hangs
up at the point when it asks for your windows password.
So, it seems that a file downloaded from the server did something bad to my
windows boxes. There were some error messages about a file called
lexcbes.exe or something similar being in use when I tried to download the
files from the server. On one machine I thoughtfully deleted that file in
dosmode, but on the other I just rebooted and the download went to
completion but windows won't restart properly.
I can only assume that this file is important to running windows other
than just printing to the z53.
Maybe the case mangling did something bad. Who knows?
ANYWAY,
I need to start windows in dosmode so I can try to reinstall the file I
think is the culprit. I don't use windows so I don't know how.
Any insight appreciated.
Joel
