SYMPTOMS
The following error message may appear if the Windows with Multimedia Extensions file SCRNSVR.EXE and the Windows Entertainment Pack's file IDLEWILD.EXE are loaded onto the same system and Idlewild is manually dismissed:

Cannot find AboutWEP.DLL Please insert in Drive A

Cannot find IWLib.dll Please insert in Drive A



CAUSE
The error message occurs if Idlewild is invoked by using the &quot;Load=&quot; line in the WIN.INI file and then is manually closed.



WORKAROUND
To prevent this problem, change the load line to:

load=scrnsvr.exe c:\wep\idlewild.exe

-or-

load=scrnsvr.exe



Steps to Reproduce Problem
 Set the WIN.INI load line to:

load=c:\wep\idlewild.exe scrnsvr.exe

 Start Windows and close Idlewild after it loads. Wait for the delay period to expire. At this point, a prompt will be issued for the Windows Entertainment Pack's DLLs.
