The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.22 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The following error message is displayed when you try to run DriveSpace:

  Your computer is running with an incompatible version of the DRVSPACE.BIN
  file. You must update DRVSPACE.BIN on the root directory of drive <drive
  letter>.

This error message is also displayed if you try to run DoubleSpace; however,
<drive letter> is replaced by an at symbol (@) rather than the actual
drive letter.

At this point, your DoubleSpace-compressed volumes may be inaccessible.

CAUSE
=====

This error occurs after you install MS-DOS 6.22 to a directory other than the
one that contains your MS-DOS 6.0 DoubleSpace files (typically C:\DOS). In this
situation, the DBLSPACE.BIN file is not properly updated.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, uninstall MS-DOS 6.22 and then reinstall MS-DOS 6.22
into the directory that contains your MS-DOS files.
