ms - dos compatibility mode and how I get my comp out of it

[wcummings]

I have Win 98 SE and I can't get my computer out of this mode. It says that I am losing performance with it. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

There are several reasons why a system might start running in MS-DOS Compatibility Mode. You need to consider all of them carefully, because some of them are serious. (For instance, some boot sector viruses cause this behavior.)

Don't try for the easy answer. Go here, enter the search term "DOS Compatibility Mode" in the search dialog, and read everything that comes up.

Good luck.
