Well I have Windows 386 version 2.11 and DOS 4.01, and whenever I try to run
a DOS application Windows insists on reading drive A: so that I must always
have a floppy inserted.  This is a bad problem which didn't occur with DOS 3.3
(I upgraded -- a mistake?) nor does it occur with my copy of Windows 286
version 2.11.  

Anybody know what's happening?
