No Way Around Corrupt Swap File on True Pen-Based Machine (81744)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q81744 SUMMARY
If Microsoft Windows is running on a pen-only machine without a keyboard,
it is not possible to get past the text-based warning if a permanent swap
file becomes corrupted.
MORE INFORMATION
The corrupted swap file warning is a text-based warning that prompts you to
respond with yes/no keyboard input. If this error message is received on a
true pen-only machine with no keyboard, it is not possible to reply because
the Windows 3.1 Pen Extensions are not loaded.
To get past the warning message, turn off the machine, plug in a keyboard,
and turn the machine back on. This allows the yes/no text-based warning to
be answered. Once you have entered Windows 3.1, you can use the pen to
delete the permanent swap file and create a new one.
