Yes it should work on WinME.  I have been using WinME with it for some time.  As far as the command.com file, that is, I believe, something that should have been installed by WinME.

you should be able to check for it by clicking the start button, then going to run... and in the white box, typing "command" which should pop up the MS-Dos command prompt window.  To close that window, you can type "exit" in that black window.

That means most likely at some point, you've had your "command.com" file messed up.  You may want see if you can extract JUST that one file from one of the windows .CAB files.  It's pretty much the ONLY way you are going to get TNM to work I think, as it runs in an MS-DOS window.  Oliver may know more about this than I, but I'm pretty sure you have to have the command.com file for it to work.

COMMAND.COM *is* the DOS shell and comes with Windows. You might want to insert your Windows ME installation CD and have it repair your installation.

TNM absolutely requires working DOS-support on your machine. It might be that a virus destroyed your COMMAND.COM, so like Rick said, it would be a good idea to extract the program from one of your CAB-files.
