Bad EXE. file deleted.

 

Just as a warning to any others, I wouldn't click on the link. I did, expecting some kinda gag, and it was pretty funny, but now my CD player/D: drive doesn't work.

If anyone has any ideas as to what may be the problem, any help is appreciated.

This affects the autoexec.bat file.
I have the instructions to fix.

I just saw this thread and it will be deleted

SYMPTOMS

When you try to access your CD-ROM drive in Windows, you may experience one of the following symptoms:
You cannot run executable (*****) files.
You cannot view complete directory listings.
You receive the error message "Device not found."
CAUSE
These issues can occur if you are using an older version of the Mscdex***** file that is not compatible with Windows 95 or Windows 98.

When you install certain real-mode CD-ROM drivers, an older version of the Mscdex***** file is copied to the hard disk, and the Autoexec.bat file is updated to point to this older version of the Mscdex***** file.
RESOLUTION
Modify the Autoexec.bat file to reference the correct version of the Mscdex***** file. To do so, follow these steps:
Make a backup copy of the Autoexec.bat file.
Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the Autoexec.bat file.
Modify the line containing Mscdex***** to read
<drive>:\<windows>\command\mscdex***** <parameters>

where <drive> is the drive letter on which the Windows folder is located, <windows> is the name of the folder in which Windows is installed, and <parameters> are the parameters from the original line containing Mscdex*****.

NOTE: To maintain compatibility with the installed CD-ROM driver, make sure to use all the parameters exactly as they are used in the original line.
Save and then close the Autoexec.bat file.
Restart your computer.

If your having a problem with your computer its not from the joke link...I have put this on three other forums, e-mailed to friends..etc. etc. and no one else has had problems. I clicked on it 10 times at least and no problems!

 

Yeah, you're right NRAJOE, I posted that and Dennis posted a possible fix just for the hell of it.

GIVE ME A BREAK. I didn't blame you at all, like I said, I thought it was funny.

It turned out to be no big deal, I just had to reboot.
