Hitesh,

If I'm correctly understanding what you've done, your OGO is actually not
hung. When it's frozen at the logo, it's really at a DOS prompt, inspite
of what is displayed on the screen. So...the solution would be this: when
you get to the frozen logo, type

geos <enter>

and this should run the geos.bat which will start the GUI.
Hope this works for you.

Marc
