SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message when you start Microsoft Backup for Windows on an NEC portable:

File is not a setup file C:\DOS\DEFAULT.SET



CAUSE
The following two conditions cause this error:


 * NEC BIOS creates a DEFAULT.SET file in the DOS directory when the battery starts running low.
 * The DEFAULT.SET file in the DOS directory is corrupt.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, delete or rename the DEFAULT.SET file, and then restart Microsoft Backup for Windows.
