MS-DOS

= SYMPTOMS =

The DoubleSpace maintenance program (DBLSPACE.EXE) may appear to stop responding (hang) when you start the program or when you type “dblspace /list” (without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt. If you wait long enough (five to ten minutes) DoubleSpace continues.

= CAUSE =

This problem occurs when the Traveling Software LapLink III device driver (DD.EXE) is resident in memory.

= RESOLUTION =

To work around this problem, restart your computer and press F8 when you see the “Starting MS-DOS…” prompt. When you are prompted to load DD.EXE, press N.
