   That is odd. On all the XP machines I have tried I get problems when   
   changing disks and after the F5 menu. I have an idea that it has   
   something to do with changes between graphic mode and text mode or   
   different graphic modes. So it might have to do with the graphics driver   
   for XP (i.e. maybe not all graphic cards), kind of odd that it helps to   
   use the other MS-DOS emulator then. Note that this CMD/COMMAND goes back   
   to WinNT, and trying the other is a good idea if an MS-DOS application   
   fails.
