and DEVICE=%SystemRoot%\system32\VT52.SYS , they both dont work. ansi.sys and vt52.sys i mean ive read the documentation on ansi.sys no matter what i do it wont work?

What is it you expect ansi.sys to do? If I recall from the WayBack years, you had to send escape sequences from which you could changes colors on the monitor, remap the keyboard, or send printer sequences to a dot matrix printer to change the font.

Many of the functions of ansi.sys can be done in other ways these days.

At one point I had a sequence that changed the command prompt into the Texas flag of Independence.

thats pretty much what i expected it to do..  i thought maybe i had forgot the proper way to write an escape sequence but i double checked and the sequence is right .. does ansi even work with vista?
