First things first. I did not FIX the problem of it opening in a full blank screen, but in modifying the DOS parameters I instructed the program to open in a window rather than full screen. Thus the blank DOS window opens in the background while the emacs program opens in the foreground. As I think I said before, this has never happened in previous versions I have used. As usual, close the task for the blank window, Emacs terminates. As for the link face part... I'll check the manual.
