SYMPTOMS
When you start MS-DOS MemMaker you may receive the following error message:
MemMaker cannot continue: Your computer's startup drive is
write-protected, or its drive letter is being used by a network
drive. Exit Memmaker and remove the write protection
or disconnect from the network drive. Then, restart MemMaker.
CAUSE
This error occurs because of one of the following conditions:
• The SET TMP and / or SET TEMP statements in the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file point to an invalid directory name.
• A file exists in the hard disk's root directory that has the
same name as the directory specified in the TMP or TEMP
variables.
• There are 512 files in the root directory.
WORKAROUND
To solve the problem, change the SET TMP= and / or SET TEMP= variables
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to point to a valid directory, or rename a
file in your hard disk's root directory, or delete/move some of the
files in the root directory.
