I notices something on my new xp computer, then when I open certain AutoCAD drawings, I get a slew(a dozen?) of blank pop up DOS command windows(c:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\cmd.exe), with a message 'C:\program' is not recognized as an internal command, operable program or batch file. They popup and disappear in a matter or a few seconds. Just curious why that happens.
Popup dos window 'C:\program' is not recognized as an internal command"

Check your system path and user path environment variables. It looks like some kind of script or addon you're using is trying to execute a batch command of some sort (presumably located in "Program Files"), but can't parse long file names and didn't include the quote marks.
But taking into account your previous post... I would say you have something strange running on your system or just a really funky AutoCAD addon.
Delete anything that is directed to your Project Files Search Path.
