DESCRIPTION:
Creates a diskette containing an update to fix the problem of starting
Magic Carpet using the Magic Carpet icon from the Start menu (K?ynnist?-
valikko/Viihde/Magic Carpet/Magic Carpet), from My Computer, or from a
shortcut.
Magic Carpet is a DOS-based game. Its original properties are set for
"MS-DOS mode," which forces the computer to shutdown and restart in
MS-DOS mode when the Magic Carpet icon is selected and the user responds
"Yes" to the warning displayed about closing all other programs. The
system shuts down Windows 95 but is unable to start Magic Carpet in
MS-DOS mode and restarts Windows 95.
This patch solves the problem by allowing Magic Carpet to run in a DOS
window within Windows 95. It changes the program's properties to
"Suggest MS-DOS mode as necessary."
HOW TO USE:
1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette.

You will be prompted to place the formatted 1.44-MB diskette into a

4. After the diskette is created, you may delete the downloaded file
SP2818.EXE if you wish.

and using the software.
