That doesn't matter, I'm talking about an entirely diffrent aspect of what
SmartDrive can do (moved out to a single .sys file to avoid confussion in
Win95 IIRC).

What version are you using now?

I didn't say smartdrv.exe/help I said "help smartdrv.exe" - that help is
diffrent from what "help smartdrv" gives and therefor the two have nothing
in common (and both are more detailed than smartdrv/help).
Please try and get a smartdrv.exe into your system (with perhaps
setver.exe) and add the following to config.sys:
devicehigh=c:\dos\smartdrv.exe/double_buffer
You can still use whatever hard drive caching program you want (or none if
you want that) just please can't you try this, it will probably take you
far less time to do it then it took me to respond to this mail anyway...
