WFWG Err Msg: The Compressed Disk...Is Not Set Up Correctly (112622)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q112622 SYMPTOMS
When you run Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11, you receive the
following error message:
32-bit File System
The compressed disk on this computer is not currently set up to
use 32-bit file access. You can enable 32-bit file access for
this disk by using Control Panel:
- Choose the 386 Enhanced icon.
- Choose Virtual Memory, and then choose Change.
- Choose OK.
This message occurs if compression is enabled after Windows for Workgroups
is set up. Following steps 1-3 should correct the problem. If the message
reappears after you follow the steps, your RMM.D32 file may be corrupted or
missing from the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, re-expand RMM.D32 and place it in the Windows
SYSTEM subdirectory.
RMM.D3_ can be found on Disk 6 of the 3.5-inch disk set and Disk 8 of
the 5.25-inch disk set.
MORE INFORMATION
Windows for Workgroups requires RMM.D32 to use 32-bit file access with
either a non-32-bit disk access volume or with a compressed volume. It is
used by the system to route VFAT disk I/O request packets through the
real-mode MS-DOS driver chain for these volumes and by default is
installed into the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.
Windows for Workgroups replaces *BLOCKDEV with IOS.386 and VXDLDR.386 in
the SYSTEM.INI file when the above volumes are detected. IOS.386 then uses
VXDLDR.386 to call RMM.D32 for 32-bit file access. If the disk volumes are
capable of 32-bit disk access and are not compressed, IOS.386 and
VXDLDR.386 are not placed in the SYSTEM.INI file and therefore RMM.D32 is
never loaded.
