WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

When you are viewing the properties of a DriveSpace 3 compressed drive, the capacity of the drive may be overstated.

= CAUSE =

This problem can occur when Windows 95 is running in protected mode if Drvspace.bin is loaded instead of Drvspacx.vxd.

= RESOLUTION =

To correct this problem, extract the Drvspacx.vxd file from the original Microsoft Plus! files. To do so, follow these steps:

  Click the Start button, point to Programs, then click MS-DOS Prompt.   From the location where the Microsoft Plus! files are stored on your hard disk, type the following command: extract /l c:Plus!_01.cab drvspacx.vxd 

= MORE INFORMATION =

If the Drvspacx.vxd file is renamed, removed, or damaged, Drvspace.bin is loaded in place of the protected-mode driver.
