When you try to run an MS-DOS command from a command prompt at the root
folder of your C drive, you may receive one of the following error
messages:
Incorrect Dos Version
-or-
Error Starting Program. A required .DLL file, ULIB.DLL, was not found.

This behavior can occur if there is an MS-DOS version of the command you
are trying to run in the root folder of your C drive. When you try to run
an MS-DOS command from a command prompt at the root folder of your C
drive, Windows looks for the command in the root folder before it looks
for the command in your path.

To resolve this issue, rename the MS-DOS command in the root folder of
your C drive. To do so, use the following steps:
| 1. | Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files Or Folders.
|
| 2. | In the Named box, type the name of the MS-DOS command you want to run,
and then click Find Now.
|
| 3. | Right-click the file (after you verify it is in the root folder of your
C drive), and then click Rename.
|
| 4. | Rename the file to a .old extension, and then press ENTER.
|
| 5. | Quit the Find Files Or Folders tool.
