An error showed up while I was playing a game on Pogo. How can I restore it back to normal?

MSDOS.SYS is a hidden file in the C:\ root directory, so to edit it at the DOS prompt type these entries, pressing ENTER after each line -

C:
CD \WINDOWS\COMMAND
ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\MSDOS.SYS
EDIT C:\MSDOS.SYS

However, this will not assist you, since in Windows ME the WinBootDir entry is in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. This is a hidden file in the C:\ root directory. To edit it type these entries, pressing ENTER after each line -

C:
CD \WINDOWS\COMMAND
ATTRIB -R -H -S C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT
EDIT C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT

This will run the Edit program, with which you carefully change only the WinBootDir line so that it reads thus:

SET winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
