I have a disk of extremely important file that are compressed with dblspace. I no longer have the same PC and my new computer has win98se. Any suggestions on how to open these files?

If you've got the install CD, you should be able to go to the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel, select the Windows Setup tab, and somewhere in there a box should be there with a title of "Disk Compression Tools" (it might be in the "Details" view of one of those listed). It probably will not be currently checked, so check it, let it install, then you should be able to access your old disk.

I've been through this, and the only way I found was to read it on a computer with Dos 6.0 installed, and which has Doublespace set up and loaded. Dos 6.22 won't do it...for legal reasons MS replaced Doublespace with Drivespace, which can't read Doublespace.

This was before Win98, and I have no idea if SickPup's suggestion will work...
