An addition for those who don't know how to get ANSI loaded:

Go to "Start => Run" and type "Sysedit", in the window with the name
"Config.sys" in the titlebar you type:

DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\ANSI.SYS

Make sure you insert that line _after_ the line
"device=c:\windows\command\emm386" or you'll get an errormessage during boot.

It's lucky you're going so slowly, because you're going in the wrong direction.
