Hi Neale

If you're sure you have windows installed, your computer should start in Windows mode. If it doesn't, there is probably something wrong with it's setup.
This is something that is hard to explain or do through these descussions, it wouldbe best if you know someone in your family who knows something about computers to help you.

hope it helps

Hi there!

In addition to Arnor's advise, but first, I'd look at an obvious simple possibility...when you click the Start button, then Shut Down, be sure the circle in front of "Restart in MS-DOS Mode" is NOT marked. The second line, "Shut Down",should be the one that is marked.

When you say Windows se mode, I assume you mean Windows 98SE (the SE being "second edition").
If your system was set up with another version of Windows (including the non-SE windows 98) it won't say SE.

First thing to try if you are in DOS is simply
type "exit" at the dos prompt.

If that doesn't work, try "win".
