block character renders my batch files useless

#1 Post by evilresident0 » 27 Feb 2009 14:02

hey, new to the forums, just discovered them now, looks useful :)

so i ran into a weird problem today, i cant run batch files on this computer..really weird...

this is a little strange to me and i can't think of why this is happening...

let's say i have a simple bat file called test.bat
these are the contents
------------------------------
@echo off
echo testing...
pause
------------------------------

simple enough, eh?

when i go to run this bat, this is the output:

C:\>■@
'■@' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

it seems every bat i make on this machine is being preempted by the block character which renders bat files useless...

any ideas? i'm out

thanks a lot!
