DoubleSpace Identifies Windows 3.1 in Standard Mode as Shell (96167)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q96167 SYMPTOMS
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.
When you attempt to run DoubleSpace or any of the DoubleSpace command
line functions from the MS-DOS Prompt with Windows 3.1 in standard
mode, you receive the following error message:
You are running the MS-DOS Shell. To run DoubleSpace,
you must first quit the MS-DOS Shell.
CAUSE
This error occurs because the code used to detect MS-DOS Shell is the
same as the code to detect Windows in standard mode, and the detection
for Shell precedes the detection for Windows.
