Windows 3.1 Setup: Pressing ESC Causes File to Be Skipped (85244)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q85244

SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Windows Setup and press the ESC key when prompted for the next disk, Setup skips the file (that is, it will not copy it to your machine). Each time you press ESC, one file is skipped. This only occurs in the graphical portion of Windows 3.1 Setup.

Note: When the file is skipped the machine will beep, but no warning message nor any other indication that a file has been skipped is displayed.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
