First, start up SmartDrive to speed things up. Next, run WINNT from the I386 folder. Setup should launch, warn you if you don't have SmartDrive loaded, copy the cd to a temporarily to your hard disk and reboot your computer. A more detailed guide.

XP, Windows 2000, and Windows NT don't contain DOS, although XP can create DOS-bootable disks. All three OSs support the cmd.exe command shell, which lets you run NT-equivalent DOS commands. In XP, go to Start, Programs, Accessories or click Start, Run, then type to start the command shell. For earlier application support, you might want to try the command.com shell, which is more compatible with MS-DOS than cmd.exe is. In XP, click Start, Run, then type to start the command.com shell. Command.

Windows XP does not have pure DOS mode, the only two ways are to execute "CMD"(preferred) or "COMMAND" from the run dialog box. If you want the real pure one, you can boot up from a DOS/Win95/98/ME boot disk or create one using Windows XP itself (insert a diskette, right click the drive in My Computer, Format, check Make System Disk) or you can install 2 OS's (like Windows 95/98/ME, which allows you to access pure DOS).

Posted in Bootstrike Forums by wmccain] Windows XP includes TWO command-line processors, CMD.EXE and COMMAND.COM. The second one, COMMAND.COM, is a stripped-down version of the command processor from DOS. The Windows XP version of COMMAND.COM is severely restricted in its capabilities (lacks long filename support and many other features familiar from Windows 98SE), so it is all-but-unusable. Furthermore, it turns out that there are TWO ways to run CMD.

To create a directory in a command prompt/DOS window you will first need to open a DOS window (described above). Once you have done this you need to navigate to the directory that you wish to place the new directory in (described above). Once you have gotten this far you simply type the following "md [NEW DIRECTORY NAME]" where you specify the name of the directory you would like to create by replacing the "[NEW DIRECTORY NAME]" in the preceding string with the name you want.

No. Windows XP is not based on DOS, as is Windows 9x. However, Windows XP does support a DOS-like command line environment, and you can run most DOS applications--and even many DOS games--in Windows XP. Windows XP also supports an optional boot-time command line environment called the Recover Console. As its name suggests, the Recovery Console is only designed to be used in the event of a system problem. To enable it, insert your Windows XP CD-ROM and type

There is some work being done to create a free port of XFree86 to Microsoft Windows. However, in the mean time, if you need to run X on such a platform you'll need to use one of the available commercial servers. One of the commercial products, X Appeal, is from an XFree86 sponsor and is a port of the XFree86 servers to MS-DOS. They also have a freely available demo version. X11R6.3 does include some support for MicroSoft Windows NT.

No. Windows Me doesn't include Real Mode DOS, so it's impossible to boot the system into DOS mode or reboot the system into DOS mode. You can, however, use a Windows Me boot disk to boot into a command prompt.

You will need to download a patcher/replacement for the UXTHEME.DLL located in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 folder as Microsoft only allows digitally signed themes. This patch will remove that restriction. You can find it by performing a Google Search. for themes, you can try ThemesXP (known to have adware) or DevianTart or ThemesWorld. Remember to use only .THEME files, not EXEs as those could be malicious.

Note that "command" doesn't support long file names. It displays files and folders in 8.3 format. "cmd" has full long file name support.

Windows 2000 and Windows XP provide their own certified drivers for some EMU10kX-based audio cards. Our kX Audio Driver has not been certified by Microsoft (WHQL-ed) and thus a special installation procedure might be required. It is recommended that you first try running kXSetup, and if that fails, follow our Windows XP installation guide.

Just one according to the Microsoft EULA (End User License Agreement) and the pricing policy on the Microsoft website. This applies to both the Retail and OEM versions. Additional licenses can be purchased at a discounted price through Microsoft or a Microsoft retailer.

To change directories simply type "cd [DESTINATION DIRECTORY]" where the destination directory is the name of the directory you wish to navigate to

This would be illegal. We would have to license DOS from Microsoft, a license is needed for every diskette image we would send or make available for download. You do not want to know how expensive that is. In addition, Freedos has proven itself to be a worthy replacement when it comes to harddisk recovery.

Please make sure that you have been granted access before attempting to log on to view the bill for your department. If you do not have access, please email your userid and department’s DA (funding number) to the Help Desk at hsc_helpdesk@hsc.wvu.edu Once you enter this address, a window will pop up asking you to enter your user name and password. The user name is always in the same format as: wvu-ad\userid-hsc (you have to enter the entire thing including the wvu-ad\ and the userid.

Not legally, and I won't tell you how it can be done. The official policy is that each computer needs its own individual copy of the software.

Alternately, from the Windows XP desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. At the command prompt, type netsh interface ipv6 install. In the Select Network Protocol dialog box, click Microsoft IPv6 Developer Edition, and then click OK. Alternately, from the Windows XP desktop, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt. At the command prompt, type netsh interface ipv6 install.

KW-1582V is supported by Windows XP OHCI built-in native driver. You do not need to load any third party driver in order to get it to work. Please make sure that your Windows XP copy is not a beta or pre-release version (only retail or OEM version will work).

There are no XP drivers for The PCNIC, however, the Windows 2000 drivers usually work. After Windows detects the PCNIC, and it attempt to find a driver, it should find several on CD. Point to \Installs\Setup\Alcatel\1384w2k, and install those drivers. Windows will give an 'unsigned driver' warning, click 'Continue Anyway'. The boxes down the system tray way have a prohibition symbol around it, but create the connection and it'll probably work anyway.

The Windows NT command processor CMD.EXE can be run from ksh, so CMD.EXE built-in commands can also be run. Assuming that PATH has been set up to include the Windows NT system directory, UWIN environment could be set to give the dir command for directory listings. For example setting the alias, alias dir='CMD.EXE /c "dir /on"', will allow the native dir command to be used in ksh.

The command prompt is a text based application that provides direct interaction with the Unix system. It is similar in context to MSDOS or the Command Prompt window you can bring up on Windows systems. A listing of basic commands with documentation is available at http://www.math.duke.edu/computing/intro.html#BASIC. In general, most things can be done through the graphical user interface. But sometimes we will ask you, or it may be quicker and easier, to use the command prompt.

Yes, and no. By default, Cygwin g++ produces an executable that is a "console application" intended to be run from within the Cygwin environment called bash. If your environment is set up right then double-clicking on the executable in Windows Explorer will run the program in a shell, but the shell will disappear as soon as the program exits (if this doesn't work for you it probably means that the cygwin directory isn't in your path).

Windows ME has an installable option that permits the use of a DOS prompt. Please see their help files for an explanation of installing this. Also, you might want to read article Q179644 in the Microsoft knowledge base (http://www.msdn.microsoft.com).

A) Press right mouse button on the icon (i.e. Resarf) or right click on the file (i.e. Resarf.exe) and choose properties. Find where it says Full-screen and tick the box. Then press OK.

Well, firstly we are developing a Windows user interface. This will be Win-32, i.e. it will run under Windows 95 and Windows NT. But since the compiler is a non-graphical application, and the DOS interface runs quite happily under all flavours of Windows already, it has not been as high a priority as making sure that the basic functionality is top-notch. In other words, we believe an excellent compiler with a DOS front-end is better than an average compiler with a Windows front end.

The env script in Windows has an extra option at the bottom called USE_JAVAW. If you "uncomment" this line by removing the "rem" statement, the javaw.exe program will be used to launch the SIB Explorer. This means that the script will return immediately, leaving the SIB Explorer still running. This action can be useful if you wish to run the SIB Explorer directly from, for example, a Windows shortcut and don't want a command prompt also running. Before the sibexplorer.

Close down any open command prompt windows. You can do this by typing "exit" and pressing enter, or clicking the [X] at the top right of the window. Click on the following link and choose "Open" or "Run" to turn on tab auto-completion in your roaming profile's registry: http://studenthelp.itee.uq.edu.au/faq/cmd_autocomplete.reg Now you can use the tab key in the command prompt to auto-complete files and directories. Just start typing the name of the directory (ie: "C:\Docu") and press tab.
