Grab your Phillips, it's... The Latest from The Screwdriver List! First off, I think the primary problem is that the program you ran screwed up the compressed volume file on the host drive. This can happen if there's a power failure during defragmenting or your system locks up. The drive has to be mounted, too, but I do not think that a utility would do that. Next think about the doublespace driver. I think it is called dblspace.bin. It should be in your root. Removing it will produce just the problem you're talking about. If the utility program messed up your autoexec.bat/config.sys file on the other hand, get yourself another utility program. Worst of all would be a physical disk error. If a drive starts to go bad, compression is asking for trouble.
