Did you write that you were using Win98?

I could be wrong, and often am, but under Win98 don't long file names in
a DOS window  have to be inside double quotes, i.e.

CD "C:\my documents\"

or


CD "C:\Program Files"

or

CD "C:\Program Files\Some Program Folder\"

?

Or whatever else may work. I had the same problem on Windows XP Pro so it isn't just older versions of Windows. It stumped the IT person the first time as well.
