SYMPTOMS
========
When you are attempting to perform any operation with Drvspace.exe, you may
receive the following error message:
The compression driver that is currently loaded is incompatible with your
version of Windows compression.
Drvspace 484
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:
- The following line appears in the Dblspace.ini file:
Drvspace3 = 0
- An old or damaged version of the Drvspace.bin or Dblspace.bin file exists on
the hard disk.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Use any text editor (such as Notepad) to edit the Dblspace.ini file.
2. Delete the following line:
Drivespace 3 = 0
If this does not resolve the problem, replace all occurrences of the Dblspace.bin
and Drvspace.bin files using one of the following methods:
- If you installed Microsoft Plus! and are using DriveSpace 3, extract the
Drvplus.bin file from the Plus_1.cab file on the Microsoft Plus! CD-ROM or
disk 1, then rename the extracted file to Drvspace.bin.
- If you do not have Microsoft Plus! installed and are using DriveSpace,
extract the Drvspace.bin file from the Precopy1.cab file on the Windows 95
CD-ROM or disk 1.
- If you updated your Startup disk when you compressed your drive, a copy of
the Drvspace.bin file also resides on the Startup disk.
