Ed,

Thanks for your prompt reply. I tried your suggestion (I had already tried the V
option and disabled the screen saver but hadn't tried de W option) and I'm sorry
to report that it did not work. It still displays the same massage with a dump
of hexadecimal numbers.

I fumbled around with the autoexec and config.sys files. NT uses a couple of
special initialization files for dos and I thought that maybe modifying them
would do the trick but, so far, I haven't been lucky.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again for your help and, of course, for Rebel!
Efrén
