SYMPTOMS
When you are using the MS-DOS 6.22 DoubleSpace user interface to convert
DoubleSpace-compressed drives to DriveSpace format, the second screen,
"Conversion Confirmation," offers the F1 key for Help. Pressing F1
generates the following message:
DriveSpace is about to convert all Mounted DoubleSpace drives to
DriveSpace format. To convert your drives press C. DriveSpace will
then convert each of your DoubleSpace drives. If you do not want to
convert your DoubleSpace drives press F3 to Exit.
Pressing F3 has no effect and does not allow you to exit the Help dialog
box.
WORKAROUND
Choose the Close button in the Help dialog box and then select the "No To
Convert" option to exit the DoubleSpace-to-DriveSpace conversion.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS version 6.22. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
