Solve : batch file programs won't run?

Answer»

Ok, well, here's the problem I'm having. If I try to run a batch file program (for example: aproposfix, l2mfix, dsrfix), I will get a DOS window that pops up for a SECOND and goes away without the program running. There is an error message in the window that is hard to read because the window goes away very quickly. It seems to say something about the file not being an executable command or program. Also, if I CLICK on the MS DOS shortcut in the WINDOWS folder, I get an error message saying "Invalid program file name, please check your pif file." I learned about this problem when using the KRC HijackThis forum to fix spyware/malware problems. Some of the downloads they have suggested have .BAT extensions, and I haven't been able to run them. Is it possible that some malware/trojan has changed MS DOS to disable it? Could I have possibly deleted or changed something disabling MS DOS? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Dell Dimension 2400, and I use Windows XP Home Edition with service pack 2 installed. Please let me know if any of you may have some idea what's going on here.

Thank you!Quote

some programs, you cant indeed not read (in time) because the programmer want it example
Code: [Select]
@echo off
echo text


normaly if the programmer want it that you can read it he would type:

Code: [Select]
@echo off
echo text
[color=Red]pause[/color]


so it can be possible, that you opened a batch program, that was a virus, or not, but it gaves errors, you couldn't read, en those errors made that you dos didn't work anymore

blackberry XP does not run MS-Dos just a Dos emulator which is ACCESSED thru' the Command Prompt. You can use the MS-Dos "shortcut" in the Windows folder if you wish but you have to amend it to find the CMD.EXE file in C:\Windows\System32\

Drag/drop the shortcut to the desktop & have a play with it.

Don't look at MS-Dos commands when using XP, use the NT/XP commands which are available here.

Good luck
