^^^^^^^^^^^
I have seen that statement several other times as well. One occasion
was when I was changing printers (from my Fax Printer back to my
regular printer). I have not quite gotten the file name written down,
but it is something like that.
BD> So I take it you are running OS/2? What version? How big is your
BD> swapfile? How much memory? Have you configured it do things like
BD> dos=high to give you more conventional memory for windows?
I am running OS/2 Warp version 3.0, at FP26.
Swap file is 40 meg. (but if needed OS/2 would grow it).
Memory is 20 meg.
DOS=HIGH, yes.
BD> Are you running tight on disk space?
Don't think so.
80 meg free on the C: drive, where Windows is installed.
130 meg free on the D: drive, where MSOFFICE is installed.
260 meg free on the E: drive where the swap file is.
C& D are FAT. E: is HPFS.
BD> I'm getting the sense that you are running low on resources
BD> (memory or swapfile space) somewhere.
Don't know what it might be?
BD> Did you have any other windows programs open when this happened?
Not usually. I tend to open windows, run word, and then close windows.
Sometimes I treat my self to a game of FREECELL just for having to have
gone into windows, but don't tend to run both. There may be other
programs running in the OS/2 environment -- but not under windows.
I think the main clue would be what is that *.TMP file supposed to be,
and why can't it find it when it needs to.
