For more information about how to perform these tasks in Windows, see your Windows printed documentation or online Help.

  Make sure the Bob Directory is located in the path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example, if Bob is installed in the C:directory, then add C:to the existing path statement: PATH C:;C:;C:   If MSBOB is included in the path, look for multiple path statements. Though the MSBOB directory may be included in one path, there may be a second path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file that is resetting the path. If this is the case add the MSBOB directory to the second statement.   If the AUTOEXEC.BAT path statement correctly contains the MSBOB directory, use the MS-DOS icon to start MS-DOS. At the MS-DOS command line prompt, type the following and press ENTER: set If the path does not include MSBOB, do the following:   Change to the root directory.   Search for all batch (*.BAT) files. Any batch file in the root directory, especially WIN.BAT, could contain a path statement that is overriding the normal AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file.  

NOTE: If you are on a network, or using network software, the network login script may remap the path or drive where Microsoft Bob is installed, to another path, or drive letter. Please consult your network administrator to resolve this problem.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The Bob directory must be in the path statement for Microsoft Bob to locate its program files.
