|
Answer» - About a month ago, my antivirus program(Avast) said it detected a virus in MEMORY. - SUGGESTED I shut computer down and reboot. - Did so. - Everything went fine with no RESULTING errors or messages. - When attempted to return MS-DOS prompt level, received message that it couldn't fine the .pif file. - Researched and found it still there. - Tryed to recreate an ms-dos prompt. - Then receive message that system couldn't find command.com. - Tryed c:\windows\system32\command.com. - System still couldn't find it, even though file is there. - Then ran virus check; spybot checkers(Adaware, Spybot, SpyDoctor, etc.), etc. - They did find instances of viruses, etc. and removed them. - Ran defrag, checkdisk, scandisk, etc. etc. - Check registery for .EXE and exefile settings. All o.k. here - Rebooted computer. - Tryed other user logons. - Tryed creating new user logon. - Still same results. - Did extension research into problem. - Can't find anything that works. - Did extensive research on this board concerning MS-DOS. - Have not found anything new that is helping. - NOTE: ---- - Can get cmd command to work and get me to DOS level. - However that are certain dos command I use frequently such as 'edit' 'fd(changes date of file(s))', etc. - These are not working. - I don't want to do a system restore at this point. I just want to fix the problem. - B-T-W. - Have Compaq Presario V5305. - WINDOWS XP MEDIA EDITION - VERSION 2002 - SERVICE PACK 2 - Only have RESTORED disk - did not come with OEM disks. - Any suggestions...... -thanks -dan Double Post.
