SYMPTOMS
========

When you start your computer, Windows 95 may not automatically mount all the
compressed drives.


RESOLUTION
==========

To cause DriveSpace to mount a drive (that it is not automatically mounting)
each time you start Windows 95, create a batch file in the Startup group that
contains the following line

  drvspace /mount <x>: /noprompt

where <x> is the drive letter of the compressed drive to mount.

STATUS
======

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
