re: I spoke too soon Monday, July 14, 2003 at 1:55 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Lee (243 messages posted) Follow the rest of my advice? Insert the 'Set Path=C:\Windows;C:\Windows\Command' statement into the first line of Autoexec.bat file. Use notepad to do this. This will effectively 'enter' that string on every boot from now on so that you don't have to. It is a temporary fix until you find the real problem, eg. msdos.sys, config.sys or in fact a kludged hard drive. Print out my orginal reply so you can follow it thru all the steps once you are back in Windows - not just the first one or two. Still fixable - I hope.
