PRB: "Position Is off the Screen" Error When Loading FoxProLast reviewed: April 30, 1996Article ID: Q114476 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSA window with the title "Error" appears when FoxPro version 2.6 for Windows is invoked. The text in this window says:
Error 30 (Position is off the screen.) occurred in SPLASH. Catalog Manager cancelled. CAUSEIn Windows 3.1, this error occurs when the Arial Bold and Arial Bold Italic TrueType fonts are missing and the Enable TrueType Fonts option is turned off. The "normal" Arial and Arial Italic fonts don't cause the problem. In Windows 3.0, this problem occurs when FoxPro for Windows attempts to load the introductory, or "splash," screen. The splash screen is displayed when the CONFIG.FPW file does not contain a CATMAN= statement. This behavior also may occur when either the standard VGA (640 X 480) video driver or an EGA driver is being used. This behavior may also occur when the Stealth Pro video driver is used in 1024 x 768 mode. NOTE: This problem does not occur under all resolutions and may also be affected by the resources in use (Large Fonts or Small Fonts).
RESOLUTION
Windows 3.1Add the Arial fonts to your system. To add the Arial fonts to your system, follow these steps:
Arial (TrueType) Arial Bold (TrueType) Arial Bold Italic(TrueType) Arial Italic (TrueType)
Windows 3.0Since Windows 3.0 does not support TrueType fonts, it is not possible to implement the previous resolution with Windows 3.0. If FoxPro for Windows is running under Windows 3.0, do one of the following:
Stealth Pro Video DriverIf you are running this video driver in 1024 x 768 mode, do one of the following:
