I did try using a working USB device such as the flash drive,
wireless mouse dongle, it does not react... or does it need more time
for its operation? Whenever I click the close icon it states that "
windows cannot close the program, it may need more time for its
operation etc".

Further
the caption says:
16 Bit MS-DOS Subsystem
D:\UVCVIE~1.EXE
C:\DOCUME~\ROYBAS~1\LOCALS~1Temp\. A temporary file needed for
initialization could not be created or could not be written to. Make
sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available.
Click close to terminate the application
This surprises me is as I never experienced this with previous command
prompt application.
I don't understand why would it have an issue of disk space when I
still have 35 gigs of free space in my hard drive
BTW Sorry
I am not familiar with linux applicationeither..
