i get this message when i boot up 98se please help

[cinnamin]

hi when a computer that i am working on boots up it gives me this message it does not say it's an error and the screen is black and the letters are white i but more memory in this machine and i added a burner and a network card here's what it is saying:

c:\> rem - by windows 98 network -c:\ windows \netstart
c:\> rem - by windows 98 network -c:\ windows \netstart
c:\> rem [header]

after this appears windows boots up normally

This is redundent lines in your autoexec.bat file.
Evidently your 98se was put on a dos or dos/3.1 machine where the previous autoexec.bat and config.sys files are used as the starting point to build the files of the same name for SE.

thanks for such a quick reply is there a way to get rid of it?

Edit the file and delete the lines.

Most of the time SE can run with an empty config.sys and autoexec.bat as anything needed is usually supplied by an alternate path. So I would suggest documenting what is in both files, then deleting everything out and see if it will run that way. If there is a problem you can go back in under dos and add the neccessary lines back.

Make the first line in autoexec.bat "@echo off" (without the ". This will tell the computer not to show any lines from your autoexec.bat. If you really want to be fancy, make "cls" your last line in autoexec.bat. DOS was so much more fun! Remember copycon and ctrl/f6?
