FCB Unavailable ERROR

[GmanAZ 0]

I recently migrated some DOS programs from NT 4.0 to Win2000 Pro. When I execute them in a DOS shell, I get the following error:

FCB Unavailable

 

Suspecting the problem was due to reduced DOS support in Windows 2000/XP, I tried the same program under XP-Pro and it worked fine.

 

Any ideas on the Win2000 failure?

 

TIA,

 

Gerard

Sampson,

 

Thanks for the feedback. However, after retrieving and applying the relative hotfix from MS, the problem still exists. I suspect the article you mentioned addresses a slightly different issue.

 

I'm still left without a solution though.

 

Thanks again.

Modify config.nt and add your FCBS.

DosFreak,

 

Tried this. I went as high as FCBS=50 with no luck.

 

Thanks,
