What directory do you have PM in?  For instance, mine is in my E: directory.
I can use a boot disk to get to a dos prompt ( have done it several times )
then I just type e:  ,  cd|e:\progra~1\powerq~1\win9x  || pmagic9x.  then
rock and roll. ( you may have to go to itermediate directories and type dir
to find yours.
