  From the Main Group of Windows Program Manager, click the MS-DOS Prompt icon.   At the command prompt, type the word “set” (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER.   Locate the “set temp=” setting and note the location it is pointing to and proceed to step 4. If a “temp=” setting does not exist, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file with a text editor, add the following line, then proceed to step 4: SET TEMP=C:   At the MS-DOS command prompt, type “exit” (without the quotation marks) and press ENTER to return to Windows.   From the Main Group, start File Manager.   Locate the TEMP directory you identified in step 3. If it does not exist, create it. To do this, from the File menu, choose Create Directory. In the Name box, type the complete path as noted in step 3 and choose OK.   Close File Manager.   Exit Windows. </li>  Restart your computer. </li></ol>
