I read this and thought of my wife ...

I can't help because you have posted in CPU's ... and I am no good at software.

I'm confused... Are you having issues with freeDOS OS or win XP?

PaulM check too see if you have a cd or a floppy disk in the machine - if not try too type - exit - and hit the enter key - dos comand aqnd reboot . ron

My guess is you have a floppy disc, CD, or usb stick in a drive somewhere. remove it and try again.

Unplugged evrything out of CPU (one of which was a USB mem stick that one of the kids plugged in and forgot to tell me bout.), restarted it and BAM loaded straight away. Y didn't i think of that first. thnx to all for ur advise. Hopefully will never have to ask bout it again. THNX again all.
