MS Backup Status Bar Is Too Small to Display Errors Found (139989)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95
This article was previously published under Q139989 SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Backup to perform a backup or restore operation,
the status bar at the bottom of the window may be too small to display
the number of errors found (if there are any). The text in the status
bar reads only "Errors encountered" with no numeric value.
You cannot resize the window or status bar to display the missing
values.
CAUSE
The font being used in the status bar is too large. By default, the
Nature and 60's USA desktop themes use a font that is too large. If you
are using either of these desktop themes, you may experience the problem
described in this article.
RESOLUTION
Change the ToolTip font or font size so you can see the text in the
status bar in Backup. To do so, follow these steps:
- In Control Panel, double-click the Display icon.
- Click the Appearance tab.
- In the Item box, click ToolTip.
- Select a different font or smaller font size in the Font and Size
boxes.
- Click OK.
- If the problem persists, repeat these steps and try a smaller font.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Plus! version
1.0 for Windows 95. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
MORE INFORMATION
Backup creates an error log file called Error.log in the Program Files\
Accessories\Log folder. This log file may list the errors that occurred
during the backup or restore operation.
