Hi

I have a problem with a DOS program which launces another dos program.

I get a warning telling me that the program has tried to acces the harddisk directly and this is not allowed.

If I press close the programs ends, and if I press ignore the program continues without any problems.

So does anybody know how I can turn this warning off.

Have you tried using any command line switches?


run the exe with the /? switch and see if it has a switch to disable warnings

Have you tried the compatibility tool?

Set it to run in a DOS environment?

What is the compatability tool ?

I thought that was a XP feature and not win2K feature

Providing you have the latest service pack, i believe its included


Right click on the shortcut, and click properties.

Then go the the compatibility tab


You can try anything from Windows 95 to Windows 2000.


It may hav DOS options too. Just try combinations to see what works

Funny, I have the latest service pack.

I am using a win2000 servicepack 4, and have created a shortcut for the dos program on my desktop, but I dont see the compatability tab, in the properties.

Does it not work on shortcuts ?

Go to Start and then Run. Paste the line below in and click OK. You should then have Appcompat enabled.

regsvr32 %systemroot%\apppatch\slayerui.dll
