Just a thought: if none of the other suggestions work, try booting from a
known clean antivirus program boot disk. I was once in a similar situation
and received the "command interpreter" message; I tried booting  from what I
thought was a clean disk, but I had been infected by a master  boot record
virus. These viruses can be misleading because they send you searching for
supposed missing files, when in fact the virus attacks any executable
program and MUST be removed by an antivirus program. (There are other
methods sometimes suggested too, but in my opinion an antivirus program is
the best way.) Even reformatting won't get rid of it, if this is the case.
