System Unstable After Print to FILE: Fails (59657)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
This article was previously published under Q59657 SYMPTOMS
If you attempt to print to the FILE port from Microsoft Windows 3.0, and
you don't have enough disk space free, you receive an error and printing is
terminated. In real mode, the error message is
Cannot print
while in
standard or enhanced modes, it is
Insufficient Disk Space
After receiving the error, you may find that the System Resources
percentage has reduced 20-60 percent.
WORKAROUND
Microsoft recommends that you quit and restart Windows to regain the System
Resources. The workaround is to assure that you have sufficient free disk
space before attempting to print to the FILE port.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
