Hello George, Thanks for the clue. I found autoexec.nt in the WINNT\Repair folder. I copied it to WINNT\System32 and now it's working properly. At some point, the file must have been moved to the Repair folder by some application, probably Norton Antivirus or something like that. Anyway, things are working properly now. So, thanks again!

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.
