I did some searching at www.dejanews.com on this and found a number of entries on it. However, only 1 had a solution, which mentioned an old command.com file being present. You may want to check your command.com date, and if prior to 2000 that is your problem. All the articles tie this to running old DOS programs on Win NT/2000. I have not had any issues running WIR on 2000 myself, except memory errors, so it is not a general problem.
