I tried to run MS-DOS 6.22 from a dvd but when it loads up i get the following screen:
CD-ROM Device Driver for IDE (Four Channels Supported)

Driver Version :V340

No drives found, aborting installation

I want to run a program that is on my C drive, i tried to find out how
to change drives from A to C but i cant find anything that will work.
I would like to know if this can be done in win xp environment. say I have a folder, A, of pictures only and they all have file extensions jpg eg abc.jpg, xyz.jpg. say I have a second folder, B, which contains all the files of A(if you ignore extensions) and more(but all are pictures.) But all the files in B has extensions NEF instead of jpg eg abc.NEF, efg.NEF, xyz.NEF. My idea is to extract all the files from B that has the same the name as A(ignoring extensions) and either move or copy to a separate folder ie if A contains abc.jpg, xyz.jpg then abc.NEF and xyz.NEF will be extracted and moved/copied to a new folder. I'm not sure where to start. is there a program out there that can do this? or there's a special command to type at the command prompt?
Previously I have been doing work that requires me to unplug my network connection and I need to check my IP address each time I plug it in again. I guess it's not set for static IP.Anyways to do this I usually go into Command Prompt and type 'ipconfig'Now however I just get "'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file".The directory is the same as its always been, I can change it but it doesn't seem to matter what it is.I've checked many other posts and is there something possibly wrong with my PATH variable? I used the command 'echo %PATH%' and it works, the list it gives is very garbled however.
I noticed a lot of services running under one of my svchost.exe processes when I ran the "tasklist /svc" command in the Command Prompt.Here's what I got: AudioSrv, BITS, Browser, CryptSvc, DHCP, dmserver, ERSvc, EventSystem, FastUserSwitchingCompatibilty, helpsvc, HidServ, lanmanserver, lanmanworkstation, Netman, Nla, RasMan, Schedule, seclogon, SENS, SharedAccess, ShellHWDetection, srservice, TapiSrv, Themes, TrkWks, W32Time, winmgmt, wscsvc, wuaserv, WZCSVC I'm not at all sure if any of those are real threats
I have question about Microsoft XP, I have three computers with Win XP.When I go to Start => Run. Now question is How can i enable the smart words select option in that Run window. Apart from 3 computers, 2 has that smart word select option enable. while the last one i have to type the whole string again and again.
My question is: In Win XP Pro SP2, is there a reboot command (executable) in the Windows (or any other) folder? If so, would you please tell me where it is. I would like to use the task scheduler to reboot the computer at the start of each day, and hopefully without going through a lot of hoops.
I have Windows XP on my computer, and when I try to ping something through the command prompt (command.com), this shows up:Running tracert also has the same problem.If I try running ping or tracert through cmd.exe, it stalls and doesn't do anything. I have to close the program because it doesn't respond.I can use ipconfig in both cmd.exe and command.com. Do I have a virus on my computer, or is there a way to repair the command prompt?
I have created a command file called Runinstall.cmd in C: I put these lines in Runinstall.cmd to call another command file (Install.cmd) in different location,the Runinstall.cmd can call the Install.cmd in different location , but some silly things occur.I use Install.cmd to install software programmes.As the installers or items are in the same directory as the Install.cmd, I can just specify the file names without specifying the path of the files in the Install.cmd.
Every time I start up windows cmd.exe opens up and the command to shut down is made and it shuts down. I have temporarily solved this problem by renaming cmd.exe just to another name of cmg.exe so that it cannot be opened but I do run batch programs so have to keep changing the name when required. Any suggestions would be helpful as to sort this out.
I'm using XP Prof. at work. When I clear the history, etc. in Internet Options, it does not erase the memory in the "Run" command uner "Start." How can I erase that memory?
When I attempt to run command I get a messagebox titled, "16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem". The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.I know you get this when you try to run a 16 bit dos app on XP, but I don't want to do that. I just want to open the command prompt. The only thing I cna think of is that a few weeks back I installed a MS-DOS emulator that didn't work, and then I uninstalled it.
I was cleaning virus and spyware from a friends computer, and when all was done, the Run command is now missing not only from the Start menu, but also from the Advance Properties to be able to turn it on and off. I noticed in the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsShellNoRoamMUICache, the key for Run Command was missing, so I created it ("@shell32.dll,-30483"="Run command" REG_SZ)hoping that would solve it, but still it is missing. I re-ran XP SP2, no luck. I installed the free version of Registry Mechanic, but that didn't fix it (though there were things only the full version would fix). I found a reference to this on the site for Prevx1 saying this occurs when McAfee (which was used) only fixes a particular virus half-way, and that Prevx1 would fix it completely. It didn't.
I can't seem to run the setup.exe command. I don't know if it had to do with the recent virus that I had. I'm still using Windows XP. What happens is when I try to enter setup.exe in the run menu screen I get a message, "Please go to the control panel and install and configure system components."
Just built up a new computer. Installed Windows XP Home SP3. Installed fine but couldn't get online. Found out I needed to install the drivers from the motherboard install disk. It installs the drivers but then it has to reboot to finish. When it reboots it goes to a command line promt to make a raid disk. Problem is that I don't have a floppy disk drive in the computer. (Come on, I didn't think ppl even used em anymore.) If I try to take the CD out and run windows, It gets to the XP load up screen then restarts. Unless I run it in safe mode. My question is this:Is there a command i can use in that prompt to save the Raid Disk info to another drive or port. Like a USB port or External Floppy Drive?
Recently, my Windows 2003 Server started giving me 404 pages for everthing HTTP; and I mean everything. FTP works just fine. I uninstalled some software that a friend of mine installed, and now I get "Service Unavailable" in big bold letters on the screen, with no error number associated with it. I'm not sure what to do, to be honest. I'll keep playing with things, but it happened Friday during the day, and I'm sure that no one was using it on Friday.
I am running xp on my home 'puter (sony vaio a-290) & an unable to use the cmd prompt.I can open the cmd prompt now ( it used to flash & then disappear not so long ago) but am unable to type anything in it. Very frustratingThe command prompt is almost equally frustrating. Altho it allows me to type & run an ipconfig, for some bizarre reason, it will not allow me to ping anything. If I type ping & then an ip or address, when I press enter, the command prompt closes.
I received a Fujitsu Amilo, 80GB notepad running WinXP.
I'm trying to partition the disc into 4v20GB drives. NOw I have tried to use the Windows Doc Management facility - it does not work! You know, when you right click on the Primary partion (there is one only partition shown - 79GB) but, previously with previous computers, when you right click, the sub-menu that appears has a 'make new partition' selection. With this computer, when I right click, that selection is greyed out and unavailable. Now I must explain that the suppliers of this computer did not supply the original Windows didk but rather what they call a 'Recovery disk' What I assume is that this 'Recovery' disk does not supply the partitioning facility.
i need to check my IP from a command line behind a router. I know there are several ways to gain your IP from online but in this situation it realy needs to be only from command line. anyone know any .exe's or commands that would allow this
my wife has a fairly new iMac and I was trying to set up an older external hard drive for her, which the mac wouldn't recognize. Well, I went to my trusty xp PC and downloaded some drivers that I was doing to expand onto a usb drive. Some how, gasp, d@%#mn, they must have loaded onto my system and now when it starts, it does so in DOS.
Still getting the dos prompt shutdown command box after scanning and removing malware, spyware, trojans and everything else you can think of. Here is what it looks like. C:/windows/system32/cmd.exe
