SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to use ScanDisk to check a drive that was compressed with
DriveSpace 3 for errors, you may receive the following error message:
This drive was compressed by a program that is not supported by ScanDisk. As
a result, ScanDisk is unable to detect and repair compression-related errors.
If you click OK, ScanDisk checks the drive. This problem can occur even if the
drive you want to check was compressed by a program that is supported by
ScanDisk.
CAUSE
=====
This problem can occur if the Dskmaint.dll file in the Windows\System folder is
the version of the file included with Windows 95, not the version included with
Microsoft Plus!.
RESOLUTION
==========
Replace the Dskmaint.dll file in the Windows\System folder with the version of
the file included with Microsoft Plus!. To do so, follow these steps:
1. If ScanDisk is running, close it.
2. Type the following line at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
" ren c:\windows\system\dskmaint.dll dskmaint.xxx " (without the quotation
marks)
3. Extract the Dskmaint.dll file from the Plus_2.cab cabinet file on the
Microsoft Plus! CD-ROM or from disk 2 of the original Microsoft Plus! disks
to the Windows\System folder.
For information about using the Extract tool, type "extract" (without
quotation marks) at a command prompt, or see the following article in the
