after I write cmd, and enter, the error message says "cannotfind the file cmd (or one of its components).Make sure the path an file name arecorrect and that all required libraries are avaliable."

I can enter lisconfig and the rum command will work.
Whatcha think?

Thanks for responding.

Since it says XP under your name, we didn't know you were referring to a Win98 machine. How do you connect to the internet? Has this machine ever connected before? By giving us as much info as possible, we are better able to help.
