DoubleGuard Message Includes "Press Any Key to Continue" (104728)
The information in this article applies to:
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
• Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q104728
SYMPTOMS
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.
If you are running Windows when DoubleSpace DoubleGuard detects a data
integrity problem, the following message is displayed
DoubleGuard Alarm #<nn>
A program has corrupted memory belonging to DoubleSpace.
Further disk activity could result in the loss of some or all of the
data on your drive. Therefore, DoubleGuard has halted your computer.
For more information, see the README.TXT file.
Press any key to continue.
where nn is 13, 14, 15, or 16. Pressing any key has no effect.
CAUSE
The "Press any key to continue" message is placed on the screen by
Windows and cannot be controlled by MS-DOS. Windows displays this
message by default since it does not expect the MS-DOS-based
application (in this case, DoubleSpace) to cause your system to stop
responding (hang).
For more information on DoubleSpace and DoubleGuard, type help
doubleguard at the MS-DOS command
prompt and then press ENTER.
