Reference number: CH000210
When the computer boots I see 'Bad Command or File
name'.
Issue:When the computer boots I see 'Bad Command or File name'.
Cause:
The autoexec.bat or config.sys has a line that is improperly typed or
missing.
Solution:To resolve this issue you will need to
first determine which line in your autoexec.bat / config.sys is
causing this issue. To do this we recommend that you do a step by step
configuration which is an option in your Windows Startup menu:
Microsoft Windows 98
Startup Menu
=============================
1. Normal
2. Logged (\BOOTLOG.TXT)
3. Safe mode
4. Step-by-step confirmation
5. Command prompt only
6. Safe mode command prompt only
Enter a choice: 1
F5=Safe Mode
Shift+F5=Command prompt Shift+F8= Step-by-step confirmation
[N] |
To get into this menu
press F8 over and over as the computer is booting or when you see
the computer indicate Microsoft Windows is starting.
In the startup menu choose option 4
for step-by-step confirmation. Once chosen, the computer will prompt
you to say Yes or No to each command loaded for your computer. Say yes
to each of these commands until you get the error. Once the error has
been found, write down the line you said Yes to.
Once back into Windows, edit your
autoexec.bat / config.sys, locate this file and either attempt to
correct the line or type "REM " (with the space) in front of
the line to remark (prevent) it from loading. Additional information about the
autoexec.bat / config.sys can be found on our Autoexec.bat
/ Config.sys page.
