I've had a search around the pc and it appears to be coming in after autoexec.bat.I have a dos based side to the soundcard which I don't use.
So if anyone can help it will be appreciated

Try putting an REM infront of each line in your autoexec, save and reboot. Don't put REM infront of any lines that you think you need. If your unsure about what you need or not, REM each line one at a time rebooting inbetween, until you get it running the way you like.

You could also try adding as the first line in your autoexec.bat

@echo off

Save and reboot.

In your config.sys you may have a DOS driver for your CD-ROM which you may or may not need. Try putting an REM infront of that, it looks something like this:

device=c:\samsung\sscdrom.sys /d:ssd0000 /v

with the rem

rem device=c:\samsung\sscdrom.sys /d:ssd0000 /v

If your cd-rom disappears in windows after this, remove the rem


To edit these files, just use windows explorer, right click autoexec.bat edit the lines and save. For config.sys select "open with" use Notepad, edit the lines and save.

Or just edit it from a dos prompt, go to start>run Type in command

Two other nifty Windows tools for editing your system startup files, go to Start--Run and try one of the two following commands:

msconfig
sysedit

I had a look in sys edit etc,couldn't find any reference to the multiple C:\>'s so I typed in @echo off and whamo it all dissapeared.Maybe all the C:\>'s did no harm but things like that really annoy me and I just gotta get em fixed!
