SUMMARY
PC Tools PC Shell version 6.0 from Central Point Software may hang if MS-DOS is loaded into the high memory area (HMA). The conflict occurs when PC Shell verifies that all of DOS is loaded into conventional memory.



MORE INFORMATION
The LOADFIX.COM file will resolve this conflict and should be used to launch PC Shell when DOS is loaded into the HMA. To execute PC Shell with LOADFIX, execute the following command from a DOS prompt:

loadfix pcshell

LOADFIX.COM is located in the DOS directory. It can also be found on the Supplemental working disk, which is created with a setup to floppies (SETUP /F).
