I suspect that your settings in autoexec.bat were incorrect; e.g., you might have modified PATH so that Windows programs could no longer find the DLLs they need. In any case, I'd suggest to not make your DJGPP-related settings global in in autoexec.bat, but instead make them local to the DOS box. To this end, put those settings into a separate batch file, and then change the Command Line property of the DOS box to say this: command.com /e:2000 /k c:\djgpp\djgpp.bat where djgpp.bat is the batch file with DJGPP-related settings (PATH, the DJGPP variable, etc.). Note that the above assumes you put this batch file in the C:\djgpp directory; change as approriate for your system. This method has only one drawback: you will have to invoke RHIDE from the DOS box, not by clicking on its icon or its name in My Computer. But invoking RHIDE from a DOS box is the recommended procedure anyway.
