 I hate blind faith flaming muther's. MS's message states that you are 
 NOT using MS-DOS and therefore they are NOT responsible for any 
 incompatibilities you may experience.

 It is not a bogus error, it is a simple warning that you need to ensure
 you are using a 100% MS-DOS compatable product to run windows
 correctly. Any Moron who actually READS it should be able to figure it
 out real quick, were not talking brain surgery.
