- Did you do a Selective Install of WINOS231? If you did, you must have chosen
- only the WINDOWS part and not the DOS DPMI support. If this is the case go
- back and do a Selective Install. This time make sure to install DOS and Windows
- both. They appear on one page. The first half of the page refers to DOS and the
- bottom half to Windows. Do install both.
-
- The other possible reason is that you have unselected DOS support during instal
- Hope this helps.
