Your system is telling you it tried to refresh COMMAND.COM and couldn't 
find it.  Be sure your COMSPEC environment variable is valid.  Use the SET 
command (just type SET then press Enter) to see where your system expects 
to find COMMAND.COM then be sure its really there, or code SET COMSPEC 
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT to set the variable with the full path of a valid 
COMMAND.COM (e.g., SET COMSPEC=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM).
