Davidrs:
Disk compression is not needed and should not be used. Do the following:
1. Go into Add/Remove Programs - Windows Setup and uncheck and uninstall Disk Compression.
2. Go into MSDOS.SYS and add or edit these entries to look like this:
DrvSpace=0
DblSpace=0
(Note: You will have to right-click the file, click Properties, uncheck Read Only, then click Apply - OK before you can make the change. Save the change afterwards, then go back in the file and recheck Read Only)
3. Go into Find - Files And Folders and bring up and delete the following files - if they exist:
Drvspace.bin
Dblspace.bin
