DOSKEY is a resident command line helper TSR.
It allows you to recall previous commands by using the cursor up/down keys.
Possibly a virus in your computer.

I would say something has corrupted your windows or a hard drive issue,hopfully you have a backup as u will have to reinstall the OS but before you do an install maybe try to run scadisk to check your disk.

good luck

Try editing the Autoexec.bat file. This sounds like a virus or a computer brainfart. There may be a command in your Autoexec.bat that is making this happen. Use a boot disk with edit.exe on it to edit.

Also, was someone trying to install something on the computer? Might be a failed installation.

Good luck.
