The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system versions 6.0, 6.2, 6.22
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
SYMPTOMS
========
If Windows for Workgroups is installed on a DoubleSpace-compressed drive, you
may receive one of the following error messages or the system may stop
responding ("hang") when the network drivers are loading:
- PRO0003E: PROTOCOL.INI file open failure
- Unable to open Protocol Manager
- Error 3653: The protocol manager could not be found
CAUSE
=====
These errors occurs because Windows for Workgroups cannot find the path to the
PROTOCOL.INI file in memory.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, make sure that the DEVICEHIGH command for
DoubleSpace is located before the DEVICE command for PROTMAN.DOS in the
CONFIG.SYS file. For example:
devicehigh=c:\dos\dblspace.sys /move
device=c:\windows\protman.dos /i:c:\windows
