Thanks Norman, Joe Miller told me something like that ( .bat files I think) I don't have a CD driver on disk ( that I can find ) so DOS don't know I have a CD, the windows start up I made would not work for some reason, I think the trouble had to do with the hard disk, I had to swap it into the D drive position to get it to format. All this because Windows on the hard drive would not install MS works. I think I'm stuck with Win98, just got tired of giving Bill £80 each year all the best - Bill
