When you click the shortcut for DriveSpace, Disk Defragmenter, or ScanDisk
on the Start menu, you may receive an error message stating that the
target cannot be found. When this occurs, the shortcuts are displayed
with the default Windows icon.
In addition, when you are running Setup for Microsoft Plus!, you may receive the following error message:
Setup Message Setup could not open the file: 'C:\WINDOWS\DRVSPACE.EXE' CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you have installed the Web.Max Security
demonstration from Berkley Systems.
RESOLUTION
Uninstall the Web.Max Security demonstration before you run ScanDisk,
Disk Defragmenter, DriveSpace, or Microsoft Plus! Setup.
MORE INFORMATION
You can see the ScanDisk, Disk Defragmenter, and DriveSpace files with the
DIR command when you start the computer in MS-DOS mode. However, the files
cannot be viewed using Windows Explorer or from an MS-DOS prompt in
Windows 95.
The following files are known to be hidden by default by the Web.Max demonstration: Scandisk.exe Cmpagent.exe Defrag.exe Chkdsk.exe Scandskw.exe Drvspace.exe Note that the symptoms described in this article have been confirmed with the demonstration version of Web.Max Security, but not with the retail version.
