Win 98 drvspace Compressed-drives running in Compatibility mode.
Win 98 drvspace Compressed-drives running in Compatibility mode.
I am using Win 98 second edition. I cannot install any new Applications Because after a reboot, right-click MyComputer Properties Performance: all my drvspace/dblspace drives are running in "Compatibility Mode". So, all long-file of folders/files names appear withthe tilda ~. My Applications, cant start, since the paths are not correct. My only solution was to restore my backups. But, I am stuck, I cant install any big new Applications ! In config.sys DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE never worked even under Win 98 first-edition. But, this was never a problem. Also, Win 98 second-edition is only using the DBLSPACE.BIN (but this is identical to DRVSPACE.BIN anyway). Does Win 98 2nd edition, have a limit to the number of programs I can install ? Help !! |

But this software is simply not reliable enough to be worth using nowadays. Buy a larger HD. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Windows 98 does not have a limit on the applications you can install, other
than available drive space. Compatibility mode or short filenames will not prevent you from installing new applications (and in any case it appears that you solved the short filenames problem by restoring from backup). What applications are you trying to install and exactly what happens during the installation? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) " wrote in message ...

This may help. If not, try clean booting.
