Err Msg: Drvspace 484... Incompatible Compression Driver

 * }

Q152612

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95
 * Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
When you are attempting to perform any operation with Drvspace.exe, you may receive the following error message:

The compression driver that is currently loaded is incompatible with your version of Windows compression.

Drvspace 484

CAUSE
This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:

  The following line appears in the Dblspace.ini file: "Drvspace3 = 0" An old or damaged version of the Drvspace.bin or Dblspace.bin file exists on the hard disk.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

 Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Dblspace.ini file.  Delete the following line: "Drivespace 3 = 0"

If this does not resolve the problem, replace all occurrences of the Dblspace.bin and Drvspace.bin files using one of the following methods:


 * If you installed Microsoft Plus! and are using DriveSpace 3, extract the Drvplus.bin file from the Plus_1.cab file on the Microsoft Plus! CD-ROM or disk 1, then rename the extracted file to Drvspace.bin.
 * If you do not have Microsoft Plus! installed and are using DriveSpace, extract the Drvspace.bin file from the Precopy1.cab file on the Windows 95 CD-ROM or disk 1.
 * If you updated your Startup disk when you compressed your drive, a copy of the Drvspace.bin file also resides on the Startup disk.
