I wonder if you missed this one when you were transferring the files?
How could you even suggest that? Do you think I am an idiot? Well let me tell you something, you are right, I am an idiot!
Some how I did miss it.
After the install could find that file, it went off without a hitch.
Now I have another question, and this will probably make me sound even dumber, but here goes.
When the computer starts, it goes to a menu. #2 on the menu was the file he opens to do the paper. When I hit this, it tries to go to WORD5. But hangs the pc. Here is a list of what comes up when it tries to load word5.
C:\Menu>CD|WORD5
C:\WORD5>ERASE*.TMP
C:\WORD5>ERASE*.BAK
FILE NOT FOUND
At first, I thought that Word 5 was installed on this pc, but was removed before he got it. (he got this pc from someone else). But then I looked at the directory on C: and it shows Word 5 on there. This is all before I installed word 5.5mind you.
So I was wondering if someone put the 2 erase commands in so it would not run?
Something else is odd also. There are a bunch of his files in the original WORD5 directory. I was able to open them after I installed Word 5.5 Maybe he copied them from a floppy when he tried to get it running?
Regardless, I have the new program running, but I would like to get the one I installed (Word5.5) to run off the main menu when the pc starts up. I tried to edit the menu, but it didn't work. (on the menu there are 11 options. i is to edit the menu, but all you can do is change the name of an entry, not the program that the entry starts.)
I hope all this makes sense.
What I would like to do is get the #2 on the main menu to open Word 5.5 which I installed. How do I go about this?
Thanks for all your help and patience!
