SYMPTOMS

If you dual boot between Windows NT versions 3.5 (with Service Pack 2) and 3.51 on the same computer and compress files and directories on an NTFS partition in version 3.51, you cannot open, delete, copy, move, rename or change attributes of these files and directories in version 3.5. In addition, the following error message appears:
The network request is not supported.

NOTE: This problem occurs in both File Manager and the MS-DOS Command Prompt in version 3.5.

STATUS
