Question [Answered] Drive C is using MS-DOS compatibility mode file system ??? please help

under the performance tab in "my computer" I get this message , in the device manager tab under Network Adapters I have a Yellow exclamation point in the "Internet Connection Sharing" tab, any ideas on how to get Drive C out of this MS-DOS mode. How do I get the updated Drive and is their even one available ???
I know very little about computers and you guys have all been great with helping me in the past so any help would be appreciated.
Jim

Did you recently add or do anything similar these things?
  • An "unsafe" device driver, memory-resident program, or virus hooked the INT21h or INT13h chain before Windows loaded
  • The hard disk controller in your computer was not detected by Windows
  • The hard disk controller was removed from the current configuration in Device Manager
  • There is a resource conflict between the hard disk controller and another hardware device
  • The Windows protected-mode driver is missing or damaged
  • The Windows 95 32-bit protected-mode disk drivers detected an unsupportable configuration or incompatible hardware
Also What Os are you using.

It’s just possible that MS-DOS mode compatibility has been enabled by accident. You can check this out by right clicking “My Computer”, choosing “Properties” followed by the “Performance” tab. Next choose “File System” and finally the “Troubleshooting” tab. Check to see if the “Disable all 32-bit mode protected drivers” is enabled. This advice should work on all Windows 9x systems.
