SYMPTOMS
========
When you create a shortcut that is configured to restart your computer in MS-DOS
mode, and you choose to specify a new MS-DOS configuration, the MS-DOS-based
program that the shortcut is configured to start may not be able to run if you
are using third-party disk compression software.
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur if the Config.sys file that you specified for the
shortcut does not contain a line that loads the third-party disk compression
software.
RESOLUTION
==========
Modify the Config.sys file for the shortcut so that it contains a line to load
the third-party disk compression software. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Use the right mouse button to click the shortcut, and then click Properties
on the menu that appears.
2. On the Program tab, click the Advanced button.
3. Add a line to load the third-party disk compression software in the
"Config.sys for MS-DOS mode" box. For information about the correct
parameters for this line, please consult the third-party disk compression
software's manual or manufacturer.
4. Click OK.
