which version of windows? if it is xp or 2000 try using cmd instead of command

COMMAND should still work on XP, dunno about W2K. CMD is better though. Maybe its finding and old command.com.

In XP, check under System Properties and check Under Advanced -> Environment Variables see if the path lists C:\Windows\system32 and C:\Windows 1st

DOS doesn't exist in NT (NT/2k/XP) based systems.

I got it to work by going into the Windows folder and went into repair and copied the autoexec.nt and config.nt files into the system 32 folder.
