SYMPTOMS

When you use the Windows 95 DriveSpace program to uncompress a drive, the program prompts you whether you want to uncompress the drive and remove the compression driver from memory. After the drive is uncompressed, the Dblspace.bin file may remain resident in conventional memory and the Dblspace.ini file may remain on drive C.

CAUSE

Windows 95 is installed on a drive other than drive C, and you are using the uncompress feature from the Windows 95 drive.

RESOLUTION

To remove the Dblspace.bin file from conventional memory and the Dblspace.ini file from drive C, use one of the following methods:

Delete all reference to DoubleSpace from drive C by typing the following command at the MS-DOS prompt:
```
      Deltree dblspace.*
```
-or-
Use the Windows 95 protect mode Drivespace program to uncompress the drive.
