Problem

Solutions: ANSI.SYS: A device driver used by DOS to control output to the screen. Some programs require you to have the statement Device=ANSI.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file. It provides the "buttons" that these programs then push to make certain things happen on the screen. The "buttons" are pushed by ANSI.SYS commands. The commands begin with Escape (character 27 in ASCII) followed by a Left Bracket. You can simply type these commands to make the screen change color, blink, etc., if you have the Device=ANSI.SYS statement in your CONFIG.SYS file when you boot your PC.
