- The problem could be a anywhere... but FIRST of all please do the
- following.
-
- Execute the SET command. What does it report for COMSPEC= ?
-
- Make sure that your CONFIG.SYS's line:
-
- shell=c:\mypath\command.com...
-
- ...points to the same copy of COMMAND.COM that COMPSPEC= shows.
-
- If not the same then either add:
-
- set comspec=c:\mypath\command.com
-
- ...to your AUTOEXEC.BAT, or change the entry in your CONFIG.SYS to match
- the same "mypath".
-
- Hope this helps.
