Error 26 Running WP - Incompatible Device Dri |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The customer is unable to run WP under DOS 5.0. When he tries to start WP, the computer locks and displays a DOS error message, "Error 26 - Unknown Media Type." The customer doesn't have a problem if he uses DOS 3.3. He is trying to run some special drives off of this machine; one drive is an external drive (the D: drive) and another is a CD ROM drive. WP is trying to access the D: drive to find documents and save timed backups. Solutions: The customer has done some testing in working with the vendor of his external drive and has learned that the device driver the vendor installed was not compatible with DOS 5.0. The customer has installed a new driver for the external D: drive, and WP now works correctly. |
