- Ok, here goes all. As pointed out by the person who first mentioned
- this problem, The drive problem does not show up when Windows 95 is
- botted into MS-DOS mode. So it is obviously surronding a change in
- Windows95 dealing with disk access, etc.My guess would be it had
- something to do with Executor trying to make direct disk access, which
- is a no-no in Win95. Anyways, here is the best work around. Create an
- icon on your desktop for executor. Then edit it's properties (right
- mouse button on icon then select properties). Click on the Program Tab
- in properties. add whatever Executor command line switches you want.
- Then Click on the box that says "close on exit" (this will
- automatically exit MSDOS when executor is done). Hit the "Advanced"
- Button next. In this area you want to click on the "MS-DOS Mode"
- button and then the "use current MS-DOS configuration" button". I have
- all the other button un-checked. Now, the trick to this is you need to
- put a DOS mouse driver in your standard autoexec.bat or Executor won't
- run. Reboot and now when you click on the icon Windows will exit to
- DOS (without rebooting), run executor, and then when you exit it will
- start Windows 95 again (without rebooting).
-
- If you don't load the mouse driver and try to use "specify a new
- MS-DOS configuration" in the "Advanced" section to load the mouse
- driver, it will work, but the machine will reboot before running
- Executor each time (to load the new MSDOS config you specified) and
- reboot and again when you exit Executor (to reload the old MSDOS
- config for WIN95).......

- Hope this helps......

- P.S. since you are in DOS you would also need to load mscdex, etc. for
- your cdrom to be visable......
