SYMPTOMS
When you are using Windows with a LANtastic network, you may not be able to start Windows-based programs from an MS-DOS prompt.



CAUSE
LANtastic keeps individual drive mappings for each virtual machine (VM). When the current working directory is on a remote drive on the LANtastic network, you may not be able to start Windows-based programs from an MS- DOS prompt unless the current VM is the system VM.



RESOLUTION
If you have the same drive mappings in Windows Explorer as you do in the MS-DOS session, you can start Windows-based programs from any VM.
