DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE or DRVSPACE.SYS /MOVE in CONFIG.SYS Twice (95816)



The information in this article applies to:
    Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
    Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
    Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22

This article was previously published under Q95816
NOTE: Although the text in this article specifically refers to MS-DOS 6.2 DoubleSpace, the information also applies to MS-DOS 6.22 DriveSpace. If you have MS-DOS 6.22, substitute DRVSPACE for any DBLSPACE commands.

SUMMARY

During installation, DoubleSpace may add the statement DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE to the CONFIG.SYS file more than once. DoubleSpace adds this line to more than one location in the CONFIG.SYS file if DoubleSpace determines that DBLSPACE.BIN may cause problems for network device drivers.

MORE INFORMATION

DBLSPACE.SYS /MOVE does not load a device driver for DoubleSpace. Instead, it moves the DoubleSpace component (DBLSPACE.BIN) into memory. Multiple instances of DBLSPACE.SYS do not use additional memory because this device driver simply moves DBLSPACE.BIN and then unloads itself.
