NetTracker is stuck

I could maybe fix it if I knew what a command prompt was

[Powdork]

Ok,I know what command prompt is but I am not familiar with it. It says to open a command prompt and go to the NetTracker program directory, which is at C:\Program Files\NetTracker.
How do I do that?

Then it says to "type nettracker shortprofilename -abort". I know how to do that but I am not sure if that would help. It says this will stop NetTracker, reset the Web-browser interface, and give me a chance to disable host name and page title resolution if this is the cause of your problem. I already uninstalled and reinstalled the program, to no avail. I am stuck on the 'your profile is currently being updated' screen.
Any help would be appreciated

go to start, programs, accessories and then click on command prompt
from this dos window paste "C:\Program Files\NetTracker" and press return
then paste "type nettracker shortprofilename -abort" and press return

if all else fails press ctrl alt del or push the big button at the front of your PC and hold it in for 5 seconds, it will kill your PC but get over the problem of NetTracker being stuck

To navigate round the disk for future ref use the following:

To go to the root of a disk type:
C:
or
D: depending on what letter drive you want

to list the current directory type
DIR

to go into a folder type
CD [FOLDER NAME} ie
CD PROGRAM FILES

To go back one level use

CD ..

So for your example you would go to the root of C, then navigate through to the directory u wanted and then run the app so you would type the following

C:
cd program files
cd NetTracker
nettracker shortprofilename -abort

C:\Documents and Settings\User Name>

When I open my command prompt that is what I get. No matter what I type I get 'cannot find path specified', 'is not recognized as an internal or external command', or some other error. Cut and paste functions are inoperable, backspace is inoperable.

Start with typing "CD C:\" (without quotes) on its own to get to the c: prompt.

thanks, I don't know if that fixes my problem but you got me working with command prompt.

For those of you playing at home.
using "cd C:\" removed the "Documents and Settings\UserName" but the ">" was still there so when entering Program Files\NetTracker I stilll got the "'Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command" message. So I tried "cd Program Files\NetTracker" and that did the trick.

And after it was all done this did fix my problem.
Thanks
