SYMPTOMS
If you install Windows 95 or Windows 98 on a computer using the MicroHouse EZ-Driver software, Device Manager reports that some of your drives are using MS-DOS Compatibility mode.
CAUSE
The Mh32bit.386 device driver that was installed by EZ-Driver is still being loaded in the System.ini file. This device driver is not compatible with the Windows protected-mode disk drivers, and is not removed by Windows Setup.
RESOLUTION
Disable the line that loads the Mh32bit.386 device driver in the System.ini file. To do so, follow these steps:
- Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to open the System.ini file in the Windows folder.
- Locate the line that loads the Mh32bit.386 device driver.
- Place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line.
- Save and then close the System.ini file.
- Using the Ez.exe program by MicroHouse, disable the Floppy Boot Protection option.
- Restart Windows.
