PUB: Windows 95 CD-ROM Splash Screen Hides Publisher Setup (148634)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher for Windows 3.0
This article was previously published under Q148634 SYMPTOMS
When you run Publisher Setup, Setup may prompt you to insert your Windows
95 CD-ROM so it can copy the PostScript printer driver. After you insert
your Windows 95 CD-ROM, the Windows 95 startup (or "splash") screen may
appear in front of the Publisher Setup screen. This screen will remain and
Publisher Setup will not continue until you either close this screen or
manually switch back to Publisher Setup.
CAUSE
The Windows 95 CD-ROM contains a file called Autorun.inf. This file
instructs Windows 95 to run a program called Autorun.exe which in turn
displays the splash screen.
RESOLUTION
To bypass the Windows 95 splash screen, hold down the SHIFT key as you
insert the CD-ROM. Continue to hold the SHIFT key down for 3 to 5 seconds
after the CD-ROM is in the drive.
If Autorun.exe does start, you can close it by clicking the "x" in the
upper-right corner of the window. After you exit Autorun.exe, you can
continue with Publisher Setup.
STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
