I have not run into this particular problem, but have had other problems in the past. I called and the people at JP Software were extremely helpful. Are you either in your 30-day trail period, or have you registered yet? In either case, they are ready to help you. If you don't have the address information, here it is: J.P. Software P.O. Box 1470 E. Arlington, Ma. 02174 (617) 646-3975 BTW, I am a thoroughly happy registered user of 4DOS and have not been having any problems. I only needed to use it for about 1 week before I decided to register. This is a well thought out and executed product and is well worth the $50 shareware price they are asking (includes printed manual and two free upgrades). You can also get it for $35 for registration only, no manual no upgrades. I am not connected in any way with J.P. Software in any other that being a satisfied user.
