1 - Make sure that the correct command.com is pointed to via
    COMSPEC environ var.  If sub-dirs change a lot do a d: instead of
    d:\

2- Make sure tyhe correct command.com is in the path.  If you have 
   command.com for say dos4.0, dos3.3 and compaq dos x.x, the pc needs
   to be able to reload the correct one.  Someone elses will doa the 
   workstation.

This is caused by the resident portion of command com wanting to reload the
non-res portion and finding the wrong command.com.
