This article was previously published under Q115866



SYMPTOMS
The following error message is displayed when you try to run DriveSpace:

Your computer is running with an incompatible version of the DRVSPACE.BIN file. You must update DRVSPACE.BIN on the root directory of drive.

This error message is also displayed if you try to run DoubleSpace; however, is replaced by an at symbol (@) rather than the actual drive letter.

At this point, your DoubleSpace-compressed volumes may be inaccessible.



CAUSE
This error occurs after you install MS-DOS 6.22 to a directory other than the one that contains your MS-DOS 6.0 DoubleSpace files (typically C:\DOS). In this situation, the DBLSPACE.BIN file is not properly updated.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, uninstall MS-DOS 6.22 and then reinstall MS-DOS 6.22 into the directory that contains your MS-DOS files.
