You might have some problem in the bat file.
Right-Click the file and select "Edit". Then copy-paste the contents to your OE and send it here, please. Javad "Pinto1uk" wrote in message ...

Perhaps that .bat file needs to be run in DOS. |

Probably it means exactly what it says.
There is another copy of COMMAND.COM in your root directory, and it's good, else Windows would not come up. The two should be identical. If they're different, copy the one from your root directory (which we know is good) into your WINDOWS directory, replacing the bad one. -- Carl "Pinto1uk" wrote: Hi, i am using windows 98 and i am trying to run a .BAT file. when i double click to run the .BAT file, i get the following error: "The file c:\windows\command.com is not a valid ms-dos program file.
