Program Hangs when Installed in Directory with Period in Name PSS ID Number: Q33658 Article last modified on 01-16-1991 PSS database name: D_MPlan

4.00 4.01 4.20

MS-DOS

Summary:

If Multiplan version 4.00 is installed in a directory with a name that includes a period (for example, MP.4), there will be a problem with enumerating a list of printer drivers.

Pressing an arrow key to get a list of available printer drivers at the Print Options Printer field will produce garbage characters on the screen. The computer may also hang at this point.

You can work around this problem by renaming the directory that Multiplan is installed in with a name that does not contain a period.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Multiplan version 4.00. This problem was corrected in Multiplan 4.20.
