Trouble in DOS

Each time I attempt to SHUT DOWN - OPEN IN MS DOS, the screen goes black. CTRL-ALT-DEL has no effect and my only option is to restart from the front panel. My 4100 using WindowsSE is only 5 days old. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!

    Hi Jodo, try this when you get that black screen, press Alt+enter, see if the screen shrinks back to a window with a tool bar. If it does you will notice a button with a four sided red arrow. That button enlarges the screen to full. You will see a black screen with the DOS prompt. Perhaps it is defaulted to that view.
    It's just a thought.let me know....maybe someone else in here knows the answer, mine is just an educated guess.

    Thanks Goonboy, after a couple of 404 errors I saw the quote too.

    Pamela,

    No apology necessary. If any of us were perfect we wouldn't be here. I had no problem accessing the reference page and it did help. Thanks again!
