Set the following in your config.sys
SET RESTARTOBJECTS=STARTUPFOLDERSONLY
This will restart those programs that are in the startup folder or are called 
by startup.cmd.
Then you can run a checkdisk against the partition (you do have your BBS in a 
separate partition don't you) that contains the BBS to clean up any "dirty" 
files.
Then restart the BBS.
