the way i cured my command interpreter problem was to fdisk with the switch fdisk /mbr and then replace the commamd.com file in the root of c and the windows directory.

Please be aware : if you follow the advice already given you must make sure that you do not use a fat16 floppy on a fat32 system drive...or you will end up in a total mess. the advice is good but only if you understand what fat32 is , otherwise it depends on how lucky you are when you select that boot disk. just remember - late win95 and win98 command.com and earlier versions are not the same , and if you have been running games by booting from a floppy you now know how this fault was caused.
