Windows 95 - flop

Why can you get to DOS only through windows? Im set up to boot into DOS,
only going to windows if I choose by typing win.

>over' everything on my computer,
Yeah, it pretty much runs the show; doesn't bother me though.

You can boot straight to DOS (or CLI, take your pick) by setting
bootgui=0 in your MSDOS.SYS. You can also set bootmenu=1 and it
will give you the option of starting several ways, including DOS(CLI),
however, that is the hard way. An easier way to do the same thing,
is to download Tweak UI from the Powertoys home page;
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/software/powertoy.htm
It is a very useful program that among other things, will allow you to
select the bootgui and bootmenu options from the Control Panal.

Try booting to the command line, and loading your mouse from there before
you play the game, even my most stubborn games work this way.
>It is far too arrogant - anyone agree ?
You really don't need anyone elses permission, but I think you should stick
it out, unless you really hate it. Your call.
Good Luck
