Q83424

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SUMMARY
There is an error in the SETUP.TXT file that is copied into the Windows directory during installation of Windows 3.1. Under the &quot;Using Stacker&quot; heading, there is a section that discusses using the SmartDrive disk cache program on an uncompressed drive. The error reads as follows:

For example, if the Stacker swap utility swaps drives C and D so that C is compressed and D is uncompressed, you would include the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file: "DEVICE=\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE C- D+"

MORE INFORMATION
This line should be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (not in the CONFIG.SYS file), as follows:

" :\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE C- D+" Windows 3.1 loads the SMARTDRV.EXE cache device driver in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Only the double buffer device driver (if necessary) is loaded in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Additional query words: 3.10
