Edit your CONFIG.SYS file and look at the line `FILES=XXX'. Increase the
number until the problem goes away. I have FILES=60 and have no trouble, but
don't go overboard as this will decrease your DOS memory somewhat. If you
are running under Windows, switching to DOS may work. If you are using
Windows 95, I have no idea whether this works. If you have no `FILES=' line,
try adding one with a value of 40 or so.
