I've got an IBM AT clone that I've just put together for myself & it all seems to work fine except that every so often, after completing an application, like Quicken, instead of getting back my DOS prompt, I'll get the Invalid COMMAND.COM message, need to re-boot. After rebooting, everything is fine again. I've checked my hard disks & there are only two copies of COMMAND.COM, one in root & one in DOS, & I've compared them & they are identical. Any ideas on what might be causing this problem ? -brad a.

I would guess you are running the application from a batch file in which case you may be able to cure the problem by inserting the line: set comspec=%comspec% immediately before the line in your batch file which runs the application. This certainly worked on my PC when it happened to me. ---- Neale D. Hind - (N.D.Hind@stl.stc.co.uk)
