I had that error with partition magic and also get it with DI. Something to do with Virus detection or NU. When I get it on DI, I let the error pass and continue. Partition Magic, I returned the software.

hey rich, i'd like to know if you think this is a valid tip: To free up memory in DOS: (1) Add these lines to "config.sys": DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=C:\windows\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\windows\EMM386.EXE NOEMS Then when adding a device to config, use "DEVICEHIGH=". When adding to autoexec.bat, use "LOADHIGH=". This should give you 600k or so if you're not using drivespace. (2) In the [386Enh] section of 'System.ini', add 'LocalLoadHigh=1' (3) If you are not using DoubleSpace or DriveSpace, delete 'drvspace.bin' and 'dblspace.bin' from the C:\ and C:\Windows directories. This will free additional DOS memory and speed system startup. from "joe's fairly useful tips" at netpathway.com :) mark
