Try changing the autoexec.bat file to read:

SET EUDIR=C:\EUPHORIA
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\EUPHORIA\BIN

dont forget the "SET" before path.
Path without 'set' might generate an error which you wont
see during bootup.

After rebooting, check the settings by typing into a dos window
at the dos prompt:
   SET
without any parameters, then press enter.
Copy whatever comes up on the dos screen, 
and if you still have problems paste all
that info into your next posting on here.

Hope it helps.
