For a friend:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Occasionally, when I exit an application, and I type CD \ to
get back to the root directory, I get the error message "Invalid
Directory." Also, when I try to do some directory listings, such as
DIR /W I get Invalid switch - /w sometimes the error will just be
garbage which may or may not include file names and lots of other
wonderful characters.
I have DOS 5.0 on a PS/2 Mod 80 running with Token Ring
drivers installed. I am not running any compression programs such as
Stacker. I do have SmartDrive, but I've turned this off and still get
it occasionally.
Any hints or suggestions? Please email me directly if
possible since it will be easier for me to read your responses, etc.
Thanks in advance....
