i am having a terrible time understanding how to get the computer into the "DOS" mode. i believe its as easy as choosing to go into the "dos" mode from the shut down selection. i have tried this. i typed in c:\scanreg / restore and the command is rejected. it never gets far enough to say i have a date to choose from.
thank you to everyone who have been helping me. it is appreciated and my apologies for being a nim wit. ")
