    The pause key was to stop the screen as it boots up so you can read the DOS text, press the space bar it will continue.

    Press the PAUSE again it will stop again.

    The ? is it has a problem, normally drivers but can also be a conflict if you look at the properties it should tell you what is causing the error.

    It's nice when people get it sorted and I am glad you did, but what sorted it?

    It could be handy for others to know in the future.
