Ok I'm sh!t at making DOS programs work.. or not work..

My problem is: how do I close GLIDOS/TOMB RAIDER properly? Whats the DOS -exit- command? How do I exit <GLIDOS running TR> properly? It keeps crashing my PC with pretty bad consequences if I don't shut down Windows properly...
Thanks

What version of Glidos?

What are the actions that lead to the crash? If you exit TR via the ring menus in the normal way, and then click the close icon top right of the Glidos server window, there should be no problem.

Later versions of Glidos should be fairly happy even if you kill the server with the game running.

Oh yeh: what version of Windows?

I just can't shut the game down at all...

I have the latest(?) version of Glidos: 1.24

Call me thicker than the offspring of a village idiot and a TV weather girl but I just can't find any option to exit the game from the ring menu, theres just these options:

-Game
-Lara's Home
-Detail levels (?)
-Sound
-Controls

and if I press the up button theres the

-Compass

but thats it

I have Windows 98 SE

Thanks

Choose GAME by hitting your ENTER key which zooms in on your Passport and it presents "New Game". Press your Right-Arrow key until it switches to "Exit Game". Press ENTER again.

This just in:

Hordes of village idiot offspring and TV weather girls are now converging on Bad Mojo's present location.

Hey, I've got no problem with them. Don't blame the U.K. weather girls in any case, their job is just too easy. All they need to do (95% of the time) is wave their hand in front of the U.K. map and repeatedly say this phrase:

Partly cloudy, chance of rain...

Oh, come on Paul. I lived there for five years. "Partly cloudy, chance of rain..." is always true somewhere in the U.K. Just ask the Irish.

Actually, yes I am...

It was a 24x7 crew of 12 people per shift (4 shift crews, 3 on 1 off) of Chemical Workers. In their quiet moments (usually 3:30 AM Sunday morning) they received some arcane thrill from finding out ways to break a system by following the instructions..to the letter... and then my phone would ring.

I still wake up with cold sweats...
