  • Microsoft Automap Streets 4.0
This article was previously published under Q147401

SYMPTOMS

When Streets prompts you to insert the second compact, you receive the following error message, or your computer may stop responding (hang) and require a system reset.
Invalid Map File

CAUSE

Some CD-ROM drivers improperly cache a compact disc volume label even though the directory (folder) structure is properly updated after you insert the other program disc.

The problem occurs with programs packaged on more than one compact disc; when you insert the second disc, the computer does not recognize the disc change.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use one of the methods below:

Method 1

Insert the other disc after you are prompted with:

Place the 'Automap Streets Disc 2' disc in drive x:

and before you click OK. This forces your CD-ROM driver to properly update the cache to include the volume label of the newly inserted compact disc.

METHOD 2

  1. Double-click My Computer.
  2. Insert the other program disc.
  3. Double-click the CD-ROM drive.
  4. Press the F5 function key. This forces the CD-ROM drive to read the CD- ROM drive again.
