Did you do a Selective Install of WINOS231? If you did, you must have chosen
only the WINDOWS part and not the DOS DPMI support. If this is the case go
back and do a Selective Install. This time make sure to install DOS and Windows
both. They appear on one page. The first half of the page refers to DOS and the
bottom half to Windows. Do install both.

The other possible reason is that you have unselected DOS support during instal
Hope this helps.
