Environment Not Set When Running Paintbrush 4.00
ID: Q49857
|
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Paintbrush for MS-DOS, version 4.0
SUMMARY
When running Paintbrush for the first time, you may get one of the following messages:
Unable to access Virtual Disk
or
Unable to init Virtual Memory
This happens when the TMP variable is set incorrectly. You need not have a TMP variable, but if you do, certain actions will take less time such as cutting and pasting. To set up a TMP variable, add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file
SET TMP=C:\TMP
where the path C:\TMP points to an existing temporary directory. You can also set the environment by typing the above line at the DOS command line.
If you have set up a RAMDISK using extended or expanded memory, you can set your TMP variable to that disk. This can be done with the following two lines:
MD D:\TMP
SET TMP=D:\TMP
Please note the lack of spaces between the drive designator and path.
Please consult your DOS manual for information regarding setting up a RAMDISK.
