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.
