Friends I used to run a very simple batch file that appends one file on to the end of another. It was a scheduled task in the Task Manager under W98. Now I have XP Pro SP1 and I can execute the batch file manually any time without errors but when I execute it from the Task Manager, whether I let it run at the proper time or right-click and select "Run", I get a dialog box that says "c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction..". If I comment out everything, I still get the same error. The actual DOS window is completely blank meaning that probably nothing was executed. Any ideas?
