After installing Personal Oracle 7.3.4 my MF-COBOL won't start. Tried reinstalling COBOL but the error persists. Seems to be a problem with the MFPATHENV setting. Any suggestions to fix this 'malformed environment space' error would be gratefully received. Thankx.
 
Did your PATH environment get to be too long? IIRC, it must be < 128 characters. You can check it in MSCONFIG under the Environment tab.

Regards.

tks 3gm. Tried adding paths in msconfig as u suggested for the exedd, lib, lbr directories but the problem persists. Seems to be something to do with the switching between 16 and 32 bit modes with mfenvg.exe. I deleted everything a few times and reinstalled but there could be some settings which persist buried in the windows system directory.
