Error "Overflow Directory Is In Use" When Ent |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: A customer was trying to run the 5.1 tutor and every time they typed their name upon entering, they would be kicked to a DOS prompt or the computer would lock. When a set command was used to send the /NC/NK/NF switch the user received the error "Overflow Directory Is In Use" 1 EXIT 2 OTHER DIRECTORY. It was later discovered that the path in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file was set with the 4.1 directory before the 5.1 directory. After the 5.1 directory was placed before the 4.1, the error no longer appeared. Another solution is to place the statement PATH=..; before any other directory in the PATH statement. /NC/NK/NF are suggested switches when troubleshooting tutorial problems. They have been found to correct many problems such as locking. |
