Sorry, lost the message and too lazy to bring it back.

You will find the newsgroup alt.msdos.batch.nt an excellent resource for
all things XP batch file related. You'll have to locate a server that
still provides the alt heirarchy, but that is a great newsgroup.

I have a number of DOS games which I like to play but many of them are
coming up with an error complaining that DOSX.EXE needs to be running
in autoexec.nt and in my path.

The program is in the system32 directory and the file is called in the
autoexec.nt file and system32 is in the path.

When I run one of these programs I get three (3) missing file errors
and then I either get the error message about autoexec.nt or the
program starts and runs normally ...
Sorry but this is not batch related. XP SP3, for some reason, does not
seem to pass DOSX on to a DOS program as it should. Why doesn't the PATH
and autoexec.nt activate DOSX as it is supposed to.

Your perogative.
 
perogative? Has your registry cleaner messed up your spell checker?
