I was running a dos program, and windows restarted to run in DOS mode. It says
error: Memory Manager not detected.
Creative SB16 Emulation Driver Requires EMM386 or similiar
Creative SB16 Emulation Driver NOT loading.

Then it goes on to show:
C:
_
(above _ flashing)

Now, everytime I turn the computer on this happens, how do I fix this? Thanks!
 
Boba1213,

One of the two:

Type exit and hit Enter.
Type win and hit Enter.

It won't let me type anything, if I push anything the computer just beeps...
 
Win98?

One of the best things about 98, is that it keeps a backup of the registry for the past 5 days.

Try hitting F8 on startup, choose command prompt only. At the c: prompt, type:
cd\windows\command
then type:
scanreg /restore
and choose a date prior to the problem.
