Craig wins the prize for spotting the one fault finding step I did not
follow!! ;) Yep, I am kicking myself for not trying that out sooner!
However, I have just tried it in DOS only and still it shows the same fault
:(

FYI Craig, the Shift-F5 is to boot in the previous version of DOS. You
should use just F5 or alternatively use F8 to bring up the boot menu and
choose 'Command Prompt Only'. This is because Windows 98 and Windows 95 OSR2
do not keep the previous version of DOS. In fact, Windows 95 OSR2 will not
install if you have a previous version of DOS!! (Win98 will though, at least
the beta and release candidates do)
