  12. I have an IBM PS/2 55sx and these last two weeks it has been
  13. acting very strangely.  Today was the second time that my computer booted
  14. up and displayed the message "Bad or missing Command Interpreter".
  15. After booting from a DOS disk, I findthat all of the files in my
  16. home directory are gone....no config.sys, no autoexec.bat.....zippo!
  17. Is the command.com screwy?  This gets really ANNOYING!
  18.  
  19. I have NORTON 6.0 and Norton Anti-Virus....I had been playnig around
  20. with the Anti-0virus setting just prior to this occurance...even
  21. in comprehensive scan mode, it dosn't detect a thing!
  22.  
  23.  
  24.     You suggestions/experiences/advice is always appreciated!
  25.  
  26.                 Thanks
