Paintbrush Does Not Load with Control Room Resident (69351)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Paintbrush for MS-DOS 4.0
  • Microsoft Paintbrush for MS-DOS 2.0

SUMMARY

Paintbrush cannot load if Borland/Ashton-Tate's Control Room is loaded. The "Loading Please Wait" screen is displayed, then the system locks up.

Borland/Ashton-Tate has confirmed this to be a problem with their Control Room application. The only workaround is to reboot the system and avoid installing Control Room if Paintbrush is running.

MORE INFORMATION

Control Room is a TSR (terminate-and-stay-resident) program that cannot be removed from memory once it has been loaded. Therefore, you should not load it if you plan to use Paintbrush. If it is loaded automatically from your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, you should delete the line from AUTOEXEC.BAT, and invoke Control Room only when you need it.

Control Room is manufactured by Borland, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
