The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS
When you create a shortcut that is configured to restart your computer in MS-DOS mode, and you choose to specify a new MS-DOS configuration, the MS-DOS-based program that the shortcut is configured to start may not be able to run if you are using third-party disk compression software.

CAUSE
This problem can occur if the Config.sys file that you specified for the shortcut does not contain a line that loads the third-party disk compression software.

RESOLUTION
Modify the Config.sys file for the shortcut so that it contains a line to load the third-party disk compression software. To do so, follow these steps:


 * 1) Use the right mouse button to click the shortcut, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
 * 2) On the Program tab, click the Advanced button.
 * 3) Add a line to load the third-party disk compression software in the "Config.sys for MS-DOS mode" box. For information about the correct parameters for this line, please consult the third-party disk compression software's manual or manufacturer.
 * 4) Click OK.
