edit.exe is MS-DOS application same is command.com cmd.com (maybe its cmd.exe is different, it seems to be a Win32 console application [not available at Win9x])
so fix your AUTOEXEC.NT file which is run by the system when you open a virtual MS-DOS machine (obviously you're using WinNT4/2000/XP). It must have been damaged or contain some wrong settings (or replaced by some trojan/virus). Run antivirus first (try www.trend.com, then "personal" page, then run the free online housecall antivirus [will ask to autoinstall Java if needed]). Else try opening that file in NOTEPAD and see what it contains. Can try renaming it to autoexec._nt and replacing it with one from another system (WITH THE SAME OS VERSION!!!) where MS-DOS apps do run OK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ George Birbilis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [Microsoft MVP J#] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + QuickTime VCL and ActiveX controls (for PowerPoint/VB/Delphi etc.) + Plugs VCL and ActiveX controls (InterProcess/Internet communication) + TransFormations, VB6 forms to ASP.net WebForms convertion http://www.kagi.com/birbilis + Robotics http://www.mech.upatras.gr/~robgroup ........................................................................ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Amrit Kohli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 9:23 PM Subject: [Mono-list] 16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem > I am having another problem with my command prompt that seems to have just > cropped up after I installed the Mono package.
