The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Picture It! 2.0
This article was previously published under Q178392 SYMPTOMS
When you copy files in Picture It! 2.0, you may receive an error message from setup that is similar to the following:
Setup cannot read the file <drive>\PIFILES\PAINT\BRUSHES
\CLREDGE\BRPE00.MIX
When you try to copy files from the CD to the hard disk by using Microsoft Windows Explorer, you may receive the following error message: Error: Cannot copy brpe00. The system cannot read from the specified device.
CAUSE
This issue may occure if there are commands in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys file that are loading
MS-DOS drivers for the CD-ROM drive. As a result, the Windows drivers for
the CD-ROM are not loading.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, comment out (remark) the lines in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys that
refer to the CD-ROM drive so they do not run. The syntax of these lines varies depending on the CD-ROM manufacturer, but they will usually
mention MSCDEX or MSCD.
Examples
From an Autoexec.bat file:
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD000 /M:20
\bin\mscdex.exe /d:mscd000 /d:mtmide01/v
From a Config.sys file:
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DEV\D011V109.SYS /D:MSCD000 /N:1
To comment a line in the Autoexec.bat, follow these steps:
- Click Start, and then click Run.
Type sysedit, and then press ENTER.
- The System Configuration Editor will display several cascading windows.
Click to select the the title bar, <drive>:\autoexec.bat.
- Type REM in front of the line that you want to
comment out.
For example:
becomes .
To comment out a line in the Config.sys file, follow the same procedure but
select the Config.sys file and use a semicolon (;) instead of REM.
