That won't work because you can't run DOS programs directly with the RUN
command. You might have been loading it from autoexec.bat, but usually
that's not needed. Also, you didn't change any of this recently, so none
of this is likely to be a solution.

Hidden or visible when Warp is booted? What's your Warp boot partition?

>MS Excel and MS Access both seem to be working OK.

Older Win3x programs used strange methods to find if share.exe was loaded.
Some just looked for share.exe in the root of c:\ or in c:\dos. Others
scanned autoexec.bat for a reference. If your WinXX C: drive is visible
perhaps your recent maintenance changed something in this area.
