Hmm! This can also be virus related.

Also, AVAST (antivirus software) can be the cause if you
have WinXP SP2 installed:

Edit it with NotePad. It should contain - apart from many comment lines
starting REM - just
REM Install CD ROM extensions
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\mscdexnt.exe
REM Install network redirector (load before dosx.exe)
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\redir
REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
And possible SET or PATH lines:
Remove anything else by turning it into a comment, adding REM and a
space as shown in the above. And please note what they were and report
back - this is happening a lot and I would like to find out *what* has
got added.
Please provide feedback if you can. It would be greatly appreciated and
will help others.
