ID: Q175159
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft IntelliPoint software, version 2.0
SYMPTOMS
When you run Setup for Microsoft IntelliPoint software version 2.0, you
receive the following error message:
Setup has detected that your Autoexec.bat or Config.sys files are
marked read-only or write protected. Set these files to Read/Write
privleges and re-run Setup to install IntelliPoint.
CAUSE
This error message occurs if the Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, or the
Dosstart.bat file attributes are set to read-only.
RESOLUTION
Disable the read-only attribute for these files and run the IntelliPoint
software Setup again.
To turn off the read-only file attribute for these files, do the following:
- Click Start, point to Find, and then click Files or Folders.
- In the Named box type the name of one of the files listed earlier in
this article (Autoexec.bat, Config.sys, or Dosstart.bat).
- In the Look In box select drive C:. If Windows is installed on a drive
other than drive C, select the drive where Windows is installed.
- Click Find Now.
The file that you typed in step 2 will be listed at the bottom of the
Find dialog box.
NOTE: You may have multiple copies of these files. Follow steps 5
through 8 for each copy listed.
- Click the first file in the list to select it.
- On the File menu, click Properties.
- Check to see if the Read-only check box in the Attributes section is
selected. If it contains a check mark, click the check box to clear it.
- Click OK.
Repeat steps 1 through 8 for all three files (Autoexec.bat, Config.sys,
or Dosstart.bat).
- Run the IntelliPoint software version 2.0 Setup again.
