This article was previously published under Q128695 SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows, you receive the following error message:
Could not read the file C:\TABWORKS\DEFAULT.TWF
CAUSE
This error occurs when you are using TabWorks instead of Program Manager
as the Windows shell and there is a problem with the DEFAULT.TWF file.
The file may be missing or damaged, or it may have been moved to another
directory.
WORKAROUND
Use one of the following methods to work around this problem:
Method 1
Use Program Manager instead of TabWorks for the Windows shell. To do so,
quit Windows and edit the SYSTEM.INI file. Change the SHELL= line to
read:
Method 2
Rebuild the default TabWorks book so that tabs and icons appear correctly.
To do so, follow these steps:
- From the TabWorks File menu, choose New Book. When you are prompted to
save changes to untitled, choose No.
- When you are prompted "Do you wish to create tabs from your existing
Program Manager groups?" choose Yes. TabWorks creates a new default
book.
- If the fonts in the new book are legible, skip this step. If the fonts
are not legible, change the tab font by choosing Options, then Font,
then Tab Font.
- Quit Windows. When you are prompted for a name for the new file, name
it anything but DEFAULT.TWF (but make sure to give the file a .TWF
extension). The name of the new file replaces the reference to
DEFAULT.TWF in the [Binder] section of the TABWORKS.INI file.
- Restart Windows.
