DOS--Digital Operating System, I think--is (was) the operating system
Microsoft invented for the IBM-type PCs before they developed Windows in all its variations. It is the OS from which todays' Windows originates. Your mouse does not work in DOS. You have to actually tell the computer what to do by typing commands. Sounds pretty anti-deluvian but it actually worked. Windows lets you do things in DOS (Start, Programs, Accessories, MS-DOS Prompt, or you can start your PC in DOS). On occasion, there are things you must do in DOS, usually when something goes wrong.
