the problem here could be bcoz of too many parameters in the "set path" line in the autoexec.bat...what u could do is.. 1. when u boot 2. press F8....then the start up screen would pop up. 3. select the Command Prompt only option 4. then rename the "autoexec.bat" and "command.com" file... 5. ie. "C:>ren autoexec.bat autoexec.old" "C:>ren config.sys config.sys" 6. then restart ur computer and try... if this doesnt solve ur problem try 1. running scandisk and let it do the surface test 2. even if this doesnt solve the problem run " scanreg /fix " or "scanreg/repair" i dont remember which option it is...or simply run "scanreg.exe" if this doesnt solve ur problem...mail me
