Changing Directories

#1 Post by FlyingKiwi » Tue Jun 02, 2009 4:43 pm

hi Geeks,
I'm having install problems with some Anti Virus.
Anyway the tech email says to
Click Start, Run, type cmd and click OK.
Change directory to: \Program Files\Common Files\Network Associates\Talkback


That's as far as I get.
cmd starts off C:\ Documents and Settings\S Selwood>
How do I change please
FK

Once the 'Dos Box' comes up, type

cd Program Files

then

cd Common Files

then

cd Network Associates

then

cd Talkback

that should get you to \Program Files\Common Files\Network Associates\Talkback directory

OK - looks like you're not starting from the root (base) directory.

Before you enter the commands I gave earlier, enter the following:

cd \

(note that there is a space between cd and \ )

Then start as in my earlier post...

Ok, Thanks Mango. I got in so far but then got the message about a thread not existing so I'm guessing it has been deleted.
