Hello every one, I have a CNC machine which is operated by a regular PC software. This software is a DOS program. Now what happens is when I load windows, the boot process takes place then the win98 window shows up and the program loads right away. The problem is that I need to get to the normal windows to be able to load some drawing files into that program, that’s the only way. I have access to dos I need to get access to normal GUI windows. Please help me out with this. Thank you in advance.

Alt Tab not working with the DOS screen? I seem to recall Ctr Enter or maybe Alt Enter switch between dos windowed and full screen.

CNC that brings back memories of a job I used to love, I wrote programs with WANG basic and Commodore 64 Basic.

Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.

The C:autoexec.bat and C:config.sys files can have entries that control the boot process.

Also, this tells about booting to DOS: http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000132.htm
Should be able to reverse that.

Before you wonder "Am I doing things right," ask "Am I doing the right things?"
