CAUSE

The compact disc version of the program uses MS-DOS utilities that are no longer part of Windows 95. You may receive the "Incorrect DOS version" error messages if you still have an older MS-DOS version installed on the computer, in which case the old version is run by mistake. You may receive the "Bad command or file name" error messages if you have no previous version of MS-DOS installed on the computer, or if Windows 95 cannot find it.
