SUMMARY
=======

Your system may stop responding (hang) when DoubleSpace attempts to
automatically mount (using the Automount switch) a removable media disk if you
are using Symantec NCache or Speedisk.

To work around this problem, either do not use NCache or Speedisk, or disable the
DoubleSpace Automount switch.

For more information on DoubleSpace and Automount, type "help dblspace automount"
(without the quotation marks) at the MS-DOS command prompt and then press
ENTER.

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

NOTE: This information applies to both Microsoft DoubleSpace and Microsoft
DriveSpace. For MS-DOS 6.22, use DRVSPACE in place of DBLSPACE for commands and
filenames.

Additional query words: 6.20 floppy diskette
