System Hangs When SCSI Driver Is Loaded After DBLSPACE.SYS

Article ID: 103668

Article Last Modified on 11/25/1999



APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft MS-DOS 6.2 Standard Edition
  • Microsoft MS-DOS 6.22 Standard Edition



This article was previously published under Q103668

This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and filenames.

SYMPTOMS

SCSI device drivers loaded high or loaded after MS-DOS 6.2 DBLSPACE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file may cause the system to stop responding (hang).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, load your SCSI device driver before DBLSPACE.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file. If your system still hangs, load the device driver low (that is, change "DEVICEHIGH=" to "DEVICE=" and remove the /L parameter). For example, change

devicehigh /L:1,1234 =c:\scsi.sys

to:

device=c:\scsi.sys
