You are correct - this has everything to do with ANSI.SYS. My guess is that it isn't being loaded and thus the ANSI escape sequences aren't being interpreted. I don't recall if WinME even looks at CONFIG.SYS, but just to be safe, check your C:\CONFIG.SYS for any mention of ANSI.SYS. If it's not there, create it. If there is no mention of the file, then add a line "DEVICE=<path to ANSI.SYS>"
