But I've already found reason. When I copy DJGPP to CD ( on Windows platform) and then from CD-ROM to DOS platform, all "-" signs are replaced by "_". So, insted of go32-v2 I had go32_v2 :) When I started go32_v2, I received "Descriptor exhausted" message. After corection, go32-v2 starts ok. Thanks for your answer. Artur Pendzich
