SYMPTOMS
When you start MS-DOS MemMaker you may receive the following error message:

MemMaker cannot continue: Your computer's startup drive is write-protected, or its drive letter is being used by a network drive. Exit Memmaker and remove the write protection or disconnect from the network drive. Then, restart MemMaker.



CAUSE
This error occurs because of one of the following conditions:
 * The SET TMP and / or SET TEMP statements in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file point to an invalid directory name.
 * A file exists in the hard disk's root directory that has the same name as the directory specified in the TMP or TEMP variables.
 * There are 512 files in the root directory.



WORKAROUND
To solve the problem, change the SET TMP= and / or SET TEMP= variables in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to point to a valid directory, or rename a file in your hard disk's root directory, or delete/move some of the files in the root directory.
