Ah, just re-read this. Ok, what I was suggesting was to run RJDOS first (you should just be able to open the ZIP then just click onto the EXE) then once loaded running CMD.EXE from then trying other programs from within that session.

Ok. And Win32 command-line programs are working ok? e.g. what happens if you try running "ping -t localhost" direct from the run prompt ([Windows_key] + [R]) - works ok? I'm expecting you to say yes.

IS the Virtual DOS Machine still enabled? Is the value of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat\VDMDisallowed non-zero? If so try setting as below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat\VDMDisallowed
"=dword:00000000

What is the filesize, date/time stamp of NTVDM.EXE?
Is wowexec.exe present in C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 ?
Does C:\Windows\System32\WINOLDAP.MOD exist?

Does ProcessExplorer show anything unusual?
