Hi,

I just got Windows 3.0 up and running.  However, when I was running
some programs in a DOS window (such as mapmem), it comes back with a
"Device sharing error in drive C" and I have to abort the program and
go back to the DOS window prompt.  It happens also when I am trying
to run "WIN /R" in a DOS window (you guys said that I can do it :=>)
and it came back with the same device sharing error.  Any pointers?
Please reply to this account.  Thanks.

- Stephen
