    c:\set path=c:\qtw
    « on: February 02, 2011, 09:49:57 PM »
    i feel i'm gettin close....(probably a wrong feeling...)

    anyways, that's the message i get after startup aborts.  i get to see the windows 98 splash screen/logo for about a half a second, then the c:\ prompt appears and i see the above message.

    any help or idea?  what is qtw?

    -thanks in advance...

    post the contents of the file c:\autoexec.bat; sounds like (maybe) someobody has been trying to  install a certain kind of game (a "Myst" game) and it has screwed up a setting, but I may be wrong.

    Both Myst and Quicktime used c:\qtw as install folder

    I believe I was mistaken and you were right... Myst games (as well as a lot of other different software apps) used QTW and therefore installed it if it was not already there.
