I think you came to the right place. You are more likely to get
responses, however, if you put a meaningful "SUBJECT" line in your
messages. You also seem to have Outlook configured to send html mail.
You should change the default to plain text.

It is hard to tell what is happening from your description. There are
several different binaries of lynx for Win32. Is this one that you
got from the fdisk site, or elsewhere. When you type "lynx -version",
or type "=" from within lynx, what is the exact version that you see
(i.e., is there a .dev# or .rel# there)? It sounds as if your program
"YMARK2000" is changing the default DOS screen mode. How to change
this probably depends on the exact video card that you have installed.
It may require a utility program that comes with your video card.
"YMARK2000" is not a common DOS program. If you need more help, please
let us know the exact lynx version (and where it was obtained), the
video card installed, and a URL for "YMARK2000". Also let us know the
contents of the lynx.bat from which you run lynx.
