Titolo: Problema con DOS!

Salve... se riavvio in modalita` MSDOS, poi quando riavvio Windows il
sistema va in freeze... potrebbe essere qualche voce del msdos.sys
(che ho un po` smanettato)?


Se intanto ci facevi sapere di che windows si trattava.. 8]
Che io sappia, no. Anche a me parecchie installazioni di Windows facevano 
questo scherzo, indipendentemente da smanettamenti di msdos.sys.
Dipende sicuramente da "altro", ma non mi ricordo esattamente da cosa (me 
ne interessai anche pochino, tutto sommato..).
Ma penso che nella KB qualche risposta ci sia:

questo scherzo, indipendentemente da smanettamenti di msdos.sys.
Risolto: per la cronaca, non gli piacevano le istruzioni
BootWarn=0
BootMenu=0
BootKeys=1
BootMenuDefault=0
BootMenuDelay=0
Network=1 
DisableLog=1
DblSpace=0
DrvSpace=0
LoadTop=0
Logo=0
SystemReg=0
Chissa` come mai... :(
P.S.: Win98se!!!

 Chissa` come mai... :(
Credo che una o due si potrebbero anche intuire.. ma sono troppe per fare 
ipotesi.

Buona lettura... :-)
Contents of the Windows Msdos.sys File
-----------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
  a.. Microsoft Windows 95
  b.. Microsoft Windows 98
  c.. Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
  d.. Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
--------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The Windows Setup program creates a file called Msdos.sys in the root
folder
and sets the file with the Read-Only, System, and Hidden attributes.
Unlike
the Msdos.sys file in MS-DOS, this file is a text file. It contains a
[Paths] section that lists the locations for other Windows files (such
as
the registry) and an [Options] section that you can use to personalize
the
boot process.
MORE INFORMATION
The [Paths] section can contain the following settings:
  a.. HostWinBootDrv=Root of Boot Drive
  Default: C
  Purpose: Specifies the location for the root of the boot drive.
  b.. UninstallDir=Root of Boot Drive
  Default: C
  Purpose: Specifies the location of the W95undo.dat and W95undo.ini
files.
These files are necessary to uninstall Windows 95.
  NOTE: This setting is present only if you back up your system files
when
you are prompted during Windows 95 Setup.
  c.. WinBootDir=Windows Folder
  Default: Folder specified during Setup (for example, C:\Windows)
  Purpose: Lists the location of the necessary files for booting.
  d.. WinDir=Windows Folder
  Default: Folder specified during Setup (for example, C:\Windows)
  Purpose: Lists the location of the Windows 95 folder specified during
Setup.
The [Options] section can contain the following settings. You must
manually
insert these settings if you want to use them:
  a.. AutoScan=Number
  Default: 1
  Purpose: Defines whether or not ScanDisk is run after a bad shutdown.
A se
tting of 0 does not run ScanDisk; 1 prompts before running ScanDisk; 2
does
not prompt before running ScanDisk but prompts you before fixing errors
if
any errors are found.
  This setting is used only by OEM Service Release 2 and Windows 98.
  b.. BootDelay=Seconds Default: 2 Purpose: Sets the amount of time the
"Starting Windows" message remains on the screen before Windows 95
continues
to boot.
  NOTE: BootDelay is not supported in Windows 98.
  c.. BootSafe=Boolean
  Default: 0
  Purpose: A setting of 1 forces your computer to boot in Safe mode.
  d.. BootGUI=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 1 forces the loading of the GUI interface. A
setting
of 0 disables the loading of the GUI interface.
  e.. BootKeys=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 1 enables the use of the function key boot
options
(that is, F4, F5, F6, F8, and CTRL). A setting of 0 disables the use of
these function keys during the boot process
  NOTE: A setting of BootKeys=0 overrides the use of BootDelay=n.
  f.. BootMenu=Boolean
  Default: 0
  Purpose: A setting of 1 enables the Startup menu. If this setting is
0,
then you must press the F8 key when "Starting Windows 95" appears, (or
press
and hold the CTRL key when your Windows 98-based computer restarts) to
invoke the Startup menu.
  g.. BootMenuDefault=Number
  Default: 1 if the system is running correctly; 3 if the system hung in
the
previous instance
  Purpose: Use this setting to set the default menu item for startup.
  h.. BootMenuDelay=Number
  Default: 30
  Purpose: This setting is used to set the number of seconds your system
will pause on the Startup menu. If the number of seconds counts down to
0
without intervention, the BootMenuDefault is activated.
  NOTE: This option is not functional unless BootMenu=1 has been added
to
the [Options] section of the Msdos.sys file.
  i.. BootMulti=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 0 disables the multi-boot option. (For example,
with
a setting of 0 you cannot boot your previous operating system.) A
setting of
1 enables the F4 and F8 keys to boot your previous operating system.
  j.. BootWarn=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 0 disables the Safe-mode boot warning message
and
the Startup menu.
  k.. BootWin=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 1 forces Windows 95 to load at startup. A
setting of
0 disables Windows 95 as your default operating system (this is useful
only
if you have MS-DOS version 5.x or 6.x on the computer).
  NOTE: Pressing F4 inverts the default only if BootMulti=1. (For
example,
pressing the F4 key with a setting of 0 forces Windows 95 to load.)
  l.. DoubleBuffer=Boolean
  Default: 0
  Purpose: A setting of 1 is a conditional setting that enables double-
buffering for controllers that need it (for example, SCSI controllers).
A
setting of 2 is an unconditional setting that enables double-buffering
regardless of whether the controller needs it or not.
  m.. DBLSpace=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 1 allows the automatic loading of the
DBLSPACE.BIN
file. A setting of 0 prevents the automatic loading of this file.
  NOTE: Windows 95 uses either Dblspace.bin or Drvspace.bin if either is
present in the root folder of the boot drive at startup. To disable a
compression driver from being loaded at startup, use both settings in
the
Msdos.sys file. For example:
    DBLSpace=0
    DRVSpace=0
  n.. DRVSpace=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 1 allows the automatic loading of the
DRVSPACE.BIN
file. A setting of 0 prevents the automatic loading of this file.
  NOTE: Windows 95 uses either Dblspace.bin or Drvspace.bin if either is
present in the root folder of the boot drive at startup. To disable a
compression driver from being loaded at startup, use both settings in
the
Msdos.sys file. For example:
    DBLSpace=0
    DRVSpace=0
  o.. LoadTop=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 0 does not let Windows 95 load 
COMMAND.COM
 or
DRVSPACE.BIN/DBLSPACE.BIN at the top of 640K. If you are having
compatibility problems with software that makes assumptions about the
available memory try setting this to 0.
  p.. Logo=Boolean
  Default: 1
  Purpose: A setting of 1 forces the default Windows 95 logo to appear.
A
setting of 0 prevents the animated logo from being displayed. A setting
of 0
also avoids hooking a variety of interrupts that can create
incompatibilities with certain third-party memory managers.
  q.. Network=Boolean
  Default: 0
  Purpose: A setting of 1 means the network was installed and adds Safe
mode
with network support as an option on the Windows 95 Startup menu.
Extra Characters in the Msdos.sys File
The Msdos.sys file also contains a section that contains seemingly
useless
information. This information is necessary to support programs that
expect
the Msdos.sys file to be at least 1,024 bytes in length. For example, if
an
antivirus program detects that the Msdos.sys file is less than 1,024
bytes,
it may assume that the Msdos.sys file is infected with a virus. If you
delete the Msdos.sys file your computer will not start.
The following statement, followed by a series of "X"s, appears in the
Msdos.sys file:
  ;The following lines are required for compatibility with other
programs.
  ;Do not remove them (Msdos.sys needs to be > 1024 bytes).
Because each line begins with a semicolon (;), the lines are not read by
Windows.

E che diamine, praticamente non si può modificare NULLA! 8/
Di msdos.sys... no! Ma del resto.... :)

Buona lettura... :-)
Wow... thankU very much! :))))
