Windows Forum / Windows 95 / May 2004ms-dos?
Whenever I try to click on Ms-dos prompt, I get an error message stating "A device attached to the system is not functioning" How do I find what device is causing the problem, or is there an adjustment somewhere that I can make to enable Ms-dos prompt. > Whenever I try to click on Ms-dos prompt, I get an error > message stating "A device attached to the system is not functioning" > How do I find what device is causing the problem, or is there an adjustment > somewhere that I can make to enable Ms-dos prompt. I don't know what you mean by 'click on Ms-dos prompt', as the interface to the Ms-dos prompt is the keyboard, not the mouse. Create a desktop shortcut for 'command' which you can click on at any time to access the Ms-dos prompt, using the keyboard. You can exit the Ms-dos window by either typing: exit <enter> or my using the mouse, as you would terminate any window. If you have a non functioning device, go into My Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager and see if any of the devices therein has a red slash against it. Or alternatively, select each device in turn, click Properties and you should see "The device is working properly" > Whenever I try to click on Ms-dos prompt, I get an error > message stating "A device attached to the system is not functioning" > How do I find what device is causing the problem, or is there an adjustment > somewhere that I can make to enable Ms-dos prompt. Err Msg: A Device Attached to the System Is Not Functioning http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=139434 Thanks. There were no conflicts and also read the kb article. It mentions something about a damaged winoa386.mod file and to extract a new winoa386 in it's place. I don't have windows 95 installation cd, and I'm not to sure how to extract a file. If I'm not mistaken it should be in one of the .cab files, but which one and how do I extract it. It seems that all the files in the command folder (extract.exe, scandisk.exe, mem.exe, etc, etc,) give me the same message described above,"A device attached to the system is not functioning". > > Whenever I try to click on Ms-dos prompt, I get an error > > message stating "A device attached to the system is not functioning" [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Err Msg: A Device Attached to the System Is Not Functioning > http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=139434 > Thanks. > There were no conflicts and also read the kb article.

There is a file "winoa386.new" 61,680 bytes in win95_03.cab If you can get hold of the CD, we can tell you how to extract the file. I found a file with the same name(winoa386.mod) in the options>usb folder. I renamed the one that was in the system folder and tranferred the found one in the usb to the system folder. The only thing is that I can't run dos commands when online and/or in windows. Is there a way of running dos apps. in windows or online. > > Thanks. > > There were no conflicts and also read the kb article.
