dos prob

[Corn99]

when ever i try to run some dos program or something that require dos to install i get messages like in the screen shot below.

[Gryph]

Well that's because Command Prompt isn't DOS.

so what can i do before i reformated everything worked jusst by clicking now things like adx utility dont work.thats what iam refering to.

[Gryph]

Hmm...I don't know.

[Corn99]

*gasp* say it aint so gryph.oh wells ill just continue googling then but its weird it never happened before i reformatted then reinstalled windows.now some of dos programs dont work while some do and some say something about autoexec.nt

[Agozer]

There could be something wrong with your Autoexec.nt file (in %Windir%\SYSTEM32) or you've accidentally deleted it. Search for it.

Hmmm

 

You can open a dos window? That means that autoexec.nt and config.nt exist and valid. Those 2 files are in your c:\windows\system32 folder. Check them to make sure you're not loading something you shouldn't be. Paste them here and we can comment.

[Corn99]

its suppose to be in the system32 folder cause i searched it and its in the windows\repair folder. copied it over still get the same message for dos dreamcast utilities porgrams/other dos programs as well that worked on xp before i reformatted and some program installers(wildtangent.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't WildTangent categorized as spyware?
