blim Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Hello Mikex,My gateway (Win98 and exact specs as yours, too) does the exact same thing and has since day one. Try looking in Start/Programs. I have Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Photo Deluxe there. I know how Acrobot Reader works but have never tried Photo Deluxe. Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blim Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Re-read the question, I'm sure you know what it is! I'm a doof. No, not sure what it is looking for....But my Gateway does do the exact same thing. Liz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimras Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I believe that the computer is not looking for anything.What the "path" statement does is inform the computerand programs -- In this case, Adobe Photo Deluxe -- where to look for it's data and other files. This kind of smacks back to the old DOS days when most program installations would append the path statement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bearskin Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 well if it was WIN 3.1 I would just delete that line from the win.in file and that should fix it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
