Default geek question

I just wonder why he is using win98.

This is out of support as well as w2k is also.

Currently suported win versions are XP and Vista

A buddy that runs our local FFing shop just called.

His 'puter still runs Windows98 and somehow, trying to get into Safe Mode,
he has it running in DOS.

He has shut it off and restarted but it comes back up in DOS

I "thought' booting with F8 held down would get to the menu that would
allow him to select Safe/ DOS/ Normal but that didn't seem to work


How do I help him get it booting into Windows again? Not sure if his
shop depends on it, or not, but let's pretend it does .... other angler's
FFing purchases are at stake here ... we must act quickly !!!!
