  • Are you sure that `C:/Program Files/AMD/RyzenMaster/HPET.bat`  exists? Try to open `C:/Program Files/AMD/RyzenMaster` in the windows explorer and try to find `HPET.bat` – litelite Aug 17 '17 at 18:25
  • just checking but i have to get it enabled to allow me to use an application that then allows me to control cpu speeds and ram speed without going into the bios – PandasOnSteroids Aug 17 '17 at 18:26
  • What is the exact command line you use? You do know that if a file path have a space it must be inside quotes ("")? – litelite Aug 17 '17 at 18:27
  • just check it doesnt come up for some reason – PandasOnSteroids Aug 17 '17 at 18:28

    i didn't know that it has to be in quotes – PandasOnSteroids Aug 17 '17 at 18:28
  • the exact line was Program Files/AMD/RyzenMaster/HPET.bat. – PandasOnSteroids Aug 17 '17 at 18:29
  • CMD handles space as parameter separator. You are trying to run a program called `C:/Program` with `Files/AMD/RyzenMaster/HPET.bat` as an argument. `C:/Program` does not exists so you have an error – litelite Aug 17 '17 at 18:29
  • so would i need to put it like this? "Program Files"/AMD/RyzenMaster/HPET.bat – PandasOnSteroids Aug 17 '17 at 18:31

CMD handles spaces as a parameter separator. So your command is trying to run a program called C:/Program with Files/AMD/RyzenMaster/HPET.bat as an argument. C:/Program does not exists so you have an error. To fix it, use "C:/Program Files/AMD/RyzenMaster/HPET.bat" instead (notice the quotes " ).
