- Three people in my group have installed windows on Compaq 386 and 486
- systems, and all lose their environment when the MS-DOS prompt is
- selected. That is, their path is "No Path", the command line prompt is
- is simple "C>" not including the current directory as set up in their
- autoexec.bat file, etc.
-
- I have no problems like this on my AST 386, and I've never seen on on
- other systems I've worked with.
-
- Is this a common problem with a known fix?
-
- At first I thought it was because windows was called from a .bat file
- that in turn was called originally from autoexec.bat when the system was
- rebooted. But calling windows directly from the autoexe.bat file did
- not fix the problem.
