The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you start the compact disc version of "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe," you may receive the following error messages:

  • When you select Historical Overview:

          Incorrect DOS version
          REDIRECT EXEC FAILED -- UPSHOT.EXE CD="D:\LUCAS\SWPTL\HF; ...
    
  • When you select "Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe:"

          Incorrect DOS version
          Incorrect DOS version
          Incorrect DOS version
          Insert disk #1.
          Error! disk full
    

The "Incorrect DOS version" error messages may be replaced by "Bad command or file name" error messages.

CAUSE

The compact disc version of the program uses MS-DOS utilities that are no longer part of Windows 95. You may receive the "Incorrect DOS version" error messages if you still have an older MS-DOS version installed on the computer, in which case the old version is run by mistake. You may receive the "Bad command or file name" error messages if you have no previous version of MS-DOS installed on the computer, or if Windows 95 cannot find it.

RESOLUTION

Contact Mindscape for a workaround. Mindscape is aware of the problem and is working on a solution.

      Mode box is checked.
