hi

Have completed a clean up of computer but when i tried to
reboot it goes straight to msdos and c prompt.

I've tried loads of stuff to startup but not working
when rebooting it says windows is bypassing startup files.
I've also tried to restore system but that isn't working
either.
any ideas

Make sure the computer has a valid "c:\msdos.sys" file,
something like this:

[Paths]
WinDir=3DC:\WINDOWS
WinBootDir=3DC:\WINDOWS
HostWinBootDrv=3DC
[Options]
BootGUI=3D1
;end
