"Unable To Create Private .INI File..." - Tro |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: A customer received the error "Unable To Create Private .INI File - After running a spell check inside of WordPerfect for Windows, another customer double-clicks on the control menu in the Speller dialog box and receives the error message "Unable To Create Speller PRIVATE.INI\WINDOWS\WPSP.INI." Then an Unrecoverable Application Error (UAE) displays. WPWin prompts to save the file when exiting, but, as with all UAEs, the customer has to exit Windows and execute the programs again. Another customer receives the error message "Unable To Create PRIVATE.INI file: \WINDOWS\WPC.INI" followed by the message, "Cannot Initialize" when trying to enter WPWin. Solutions: One customer eliminated the error by adding /PI to the command line option. Another customer had the PATH statement set up as follows: PATH C:\;\DOS;\WINDOWS. The problem occurred in the PATH statement of the AUTOEXEC.BAT file because there wasn't a C: in front of the WINDOWS directory. WPWin needs to look to the path to find the location of the .INI file. WPWin relies on the path because it does not read from the WIN.INI or SYS.INI files. Once the user placed a C: in front of the WINDOWS directory, the problem went away. One customer got the error "Unable To Create Private .INI: W:\WPWPDOS.INI" while selecting a Button Bar in WPWin 5.2. By creating a WPWPDOS.INI file in the WPWIN directory, the customer was able to solve the problem. This user had a special setup where everyone on the network was using the same initials. The customer was redirecting the .INI files to user-specific directories. To do this the customer had to use the /PI switch as well as remark or delete the [INI PATHS] section from WPC_NET.INI file. When a user does this, he or she must copy the default .INI files into their respective program directories. For example, the WPWPW_NET.INI file has to be in the WPWIN directory; the WPFM_NET.INI file has to be in the WPC directory (or the directory containing the FMWIN.EXE file). When the default .INI file is in the correct directory, the user can create personal .INI files. |
