PRB: "Setup Not Saved" Error When Trying to Save Printer Setup

Last reviewed: April 17, 1995
Article ID: Q102894

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0 and 2.5

SYMPTOMS

A wait window is displayed with the message "Setup Not Saved" when you choose OK after selecting a printer and giving it a name in the Printer Driver Setup screen.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the FOXUSER.DBF and FOXUSER.FPT files are marked as read-only, the FOXUSER.DBF file is corrupt, GENPD.APP is corrupt, or other FoxPro program files are corrupt.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, do the following:

Make sure the FOXUSER.DBF and FOXUSER.FPT files are not marked as read-only.
Make sure that the FOXUSER resource file is correct. Close FoxPro, rename the FOXUSER.DBF file, and restart FoxPro to build a new FOXUSER resource file.
Rebuild the GENPD.APP file.
If the error still persists, reinstall FoxPro.
