After getting rid of the command.com it didn't solve my problems but I found this:
1.Click Start, click Run, type NOTEPAD %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT, and then click OK.
2.Remove the entire ComSpec line in the Autoexec.nt file. The line will look similar to the following sample: ComSpec=C:\WINDOWS\system32\COMMAND.COM
3.Correct the ComSpec environment variables in the System properties. To do so, follow these steps:
a.Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
b.Double-click the System icon, click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.
c.Highlight the ComSpec line, and then click Edit at the bottom of the window.
4.Make sure the Variable Value id set to: %SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe
DOS now works perfectly... Anyway, Thanks very much for your help... I now love Windows 2000 even more...
