Gryph Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Well that's because Command Prompt isn't DOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agozer Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 There could be something wrong with your Autoexec.nt file (in %Windir%\SYSTEM32) or you've accidentally deleted it. Search for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 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 Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 (edited) 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.)
