Alright here we go. Got a computer im working on for a relative, its a dinosaur of sorts, an IBM thinkpad 765L. He uses it for an a/c company he runs in South Florida, and summer is fast approaching.(needless to say, this is the busy season) The problem is that upon startup, dos gives an error about MWW\DLL, i will type exactly what the message is below. C:\>PATH=C:\MWW\DLL C:\>Path=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\MWW\DLL C:\>SET MWPATH=C:\MWW\DLL;C:\MWW\MWGAMES;C:\MWW\DSP C:\>REM The following is used by DOS games to recognize Sound Blaster hardware. C:\>REM If hardware settings are changed, please change this line as well. C:\>REM See the Mwave README file for instructions. C:\>SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 C:\>SET LIBPATH=C:\MWW\DLL C:\> This program requires Microsoft Windows. C:\> This is exactly what the screen looks like verbatim. Ive tried a million different things including boot disks and editing the autoexec.bat and config.sys files which i use the command - C:\>edit autoexec.bat and get "bad command or file name" in return. When i check the directory i see that the files are intact but cannot edit them. i have also tried other forms of hdd regenerators and BartPE discs but i am unable (probably just too stupid) to boot. My knowledge of DOS coding extends to very little work when i was about 10 years old and small fixes over the years. Any advice, even the smallest thing i might be overlooking, will be greatly appreciated.
By the way, all i really need to do is recover the address book from the computer, then i can reformat the drive if i can figure that one out. I would also like to mention that this computer has a CD (NOT DVD) drive and of course, no floppy drive because that would make things easier. HELP?
