I have a problem. I haven't figured out how to make my retro system boot into Windows after using the DOS Start Menu I just made. If I use these files (AUTOEXEC.BAT + CONFIG.SYS) for "Restart in MS-DOS mode" it works well but I would like to make it work without having to go to Windows before entering DOS Start Menu. If I copy these files into C root I can make the menu work almost completely but I can't boot into Windows. If I choose Windows "MENUITEM=37WIN, Start Windows" from DOS, I get a message "You are currently running in MS-DOS mode. Do you want to return to normal mode, to run Windows applications again [Enter=Y, Esc=N]?" If I press "y", computer reboots to the start of the menu. If I type "exit", I get nothing. If I type "win" after choosing any menuitem, I get the same message and I can press y to reboot back to DOS start menu. Menu stays on endless loop.

How can I make my DOS Start Menu behave correctly, and get into Windows from it?

This behavior is caused by the very first line of config.sys:

1DOS=SINGLE

Remove it, make it comment (; at the beginning of the line), or move to the subsection if it is really needed.

Thanks, bud! 😀

I actually ended up removing [COMMON] section completely from my CONFIG.SYS file along with "DOS=SINGLE" line. I'm not sure if you meant this but this made it work all better. I haven't had issues under DOS yet and now I can type "win" in most situations or use the menu item directly going to Windows. If I have VSB or TEMU loaded, WIN command fails and I'm forced to reboot or shutdown but otherwise it seems to work just fine now.

In case anyone wonders why I added "setupds /s" line to my AUTOEXEC.BAT file under line ":37WIN"... Well if I use Windows DOS Box then I get quieter audio in Windows DOS Box if I don't load "setupds /s". I can only get louder audio on first run of any DOS application and only one DOS application per boot. I have no idea why only once with "setupds /s" loaded and not at all if "setupds /s" is missing from autoexec.bat. Also OPL sounds seem to be quieter in Windows DOS Box at all times no matter whether "setupds /s" is loaded or not but these minor issues probably remain for a very long time and have nothing to do with anything here. Besides under plain DOS, sounds work louder at all times, both digitized and OPL/FM/AdLib.

Here are my modified lines for both AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files in case anyone is having similar problems or is otherwise interested.

As usual, bloated config with 25 different options where you probably only need 2 or 3 (for the different sound cards, and maybe for a specific game that has issues that cannot be solved in other ways). Glad it works for you, though.

It's a work in progress and I will update this menu in time, and after I'm sure what items are completely unnesessary in my situation, I will remove them and only include the ones I really need and possibly add even more If I really have to but so far I'll let it stay the way it is. I know my menu is huge and possibly bloated but since it works and I can also boot into Windows from it - I can live with those things. Thanks for your feedback! Cheers! 😀
