MS-DOS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you use the UNDELETE /UNLOAD command to remove the memory- resident portion of Microsoft Undelete, you may receive the following error message:

Cannot unload Undelete is not the last resident program others must be unloaded first

= CAUSE =

This error message occurs if another terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program is loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file after UNDELETE.

= WORKAROUND =

If you want to make Undelete a removable TSR program, make sure that it is the last TSR loaded in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
  Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file by adding c:/s as the next to last line.   Add the following line below the C:/S line: c:   Save the file, exit, and reboot your computer.   At the MS-DOS command prompt, type “undelete /unload” (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.
