From the command line, try: C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001
                               ^^^^^^^                       ^^^^^^^
                Your Windows directory     Device name in CONFIG.SYS
MSCDEX will not (normally) load when a copy is already loaded.  Thus, if it 
loads without complaint, your other programs should start working.  If so, 
add the command above to your C:\WINDOWS\DOSSTART.BAT (I think that's the 
name).  If that does NOT fix your problem... well...?
