SYMPTOMS
If your AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, or Windows SYSTEM.INI file is marked as read-only, MemMaker displays the following error message:

MemMaker cannot continue because it cannot gain access to the AUTOEXEC.BAT, CONFIG.SYS, or Windows SYSTEM.INI file. Make sure the read-only attribute for those files is not set.

To undo MemMaker's changes, press ENTER.

If your AUTOEXEC.BAT file or SYSTEM.INI file is marked read-only but the CONFIG.SYS file is not, MemMaker does not undo the changes it made to the CONFIG.SYS file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the read-only attribute on the AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or SYSTEM.INI file and restart MemMaker. To remove the read-only attribute on the AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or SYSTEM.INI files, use the ATTRIB command as follows:   attrib c:\autoexec.bat -r

-and/or-

  attrib c:\windows\system.ini -r
