MS-DOS error

[Sonny101]

Hi,

This has been bugging me for a few days now, I keep getting an error in the cmd promt window. when I open the command promt (OS=vista) I get C:\Users\Name> ,everything I type after this I recieve the following error '****' is not recognized as an external or internal command, operable program or batch file. even if I start at C:\> and enter for example Windows I get this error. I am rather ashamed to say I know nothing about DOS, and endevour to learn it so if any one knows some good tutorial site it would be appreciated.
