You should tell us exactly which solutions you tried. Maybe you
missed the right solution, or maybe you didn't apply the
solution correctly. Also, did you look it up in the FAQ? At
least in version 2.11 of the FAQ this problem is well
documented.

With or without a long filename?

Actually I doubt it, but it's impossible to say unless you post
it. However, try typing `set LFN=y' at the DOS prompt before
compiling. If that solves the problem, your autoexec.bat was
not fine -- add the `set LFN=y' line to it, and all should be
well. Don't forget to reboot.

Being such a popular problem, it's also one of the most
frequently solved problems. I'll be very surprised if your
problem can't be solved in the same way as everyone else's
problem.
There is another twist to this though; if you're working on NT
then you won't be able to use long filenames at all, and in this
case the solution above won't work. You need to use a DOS unzip
program that truncates long filenames to 8.3 format if you're
either working on NT or working in plain DOS.
