Ok I am using VC++ 1.52 and writing some DOS based software. My problem is when win2k runs a command prompt it don''t behave like a win98 command prompt. Is their anyway to get this to act like a win98 prompt? e.g. when I change video modes in win2k it don''t do anything. Could I find a win98 .exe of a command prompt and run that? Thanks for any ideas! Windows 98/SE/ME SUCKS! Deal with it! if(windows crashes) run Linux else yeah right!! RESIST WINDOWS XP!!!!!!!!!! RESIST .NET TECH!!!!!!!!!!!

run command.com instead of cmd.exe
