Re: no dos programs in windows xp sp2?

If the path to the setup files use long file names then you will get that
message when trying to run a 16bit file. If that is the case then put the
files into a folder that conforms to the 8+3 DOS rule for files & folders
and try again.

Just solved that one myself after a week of struggling.
See knowledge base
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324767

this occurred after a file became removed or corrupted after I removed
Adware>ZANGO< with Spyware Doctor.
I am also running SP2 with full updates. I lost Add or Remove Programs when
I updated to SP2 and still haven't got it back, any ideas?

From C:\Windows\Repair directory copy file autoexec.nt to
C:\Windows\System32\ and after that go in that directory and with right
button click Properties and select Read only (click in box) and after that
REBOOT your computer.

Fix your damned calendar! You're a week ahead of everyone else! I don't
reply to post daters (except to tell them they're post dating) then it's
straight in the bozo bin.
