#CorelTRACE with Win 3.1
4 messages in this thread
My CorelTRACE will not work after I upgraded to Win 3.1 from Win 3.0. Upon
initiation of CorelTRACE I get "cannot continue due to error creating
temporary fill". When I respond I get "memory allocation problem". I am
running CorelDraw Ver. 1.2 and CorelTRACE Ver. 1.00 on an IBM PS-2 50Z with
4MB RAM and an 80 MB PLUS hard drive. Any suggestions? Thanks, Mike
Quinn.
Mike,
Since you're using CD 1.2 with Windows 3.1, it's hard for me to say whether
CorelDRAW and its modules will be able to function properly in
that environment. As you know, CD 1.2 was created long before Win 3.1 came
out.
However, on the surface, it appears that you may have run out of temp
space. What you should do is look in your autoexec.bat for a line that
says "set temp=" (make sure it's after your path statement). Wherever it's
pointing to is where the temporary files should be going to (verify that
they're going to a directory that actually exists). Then go into the File
Manager and check how much HD space is available, you'll want to ensure you
have about 5MB.
If all those things are okay, then just before you start to trace something
go into the File Manager and change to the directory where the temporary
files are supposed to go (what you're trying to do here is just to get
Windows to "acknowledge" that directory to ensure that Trace puts the temp
files there). Then exit out of File Manager and try again.
Let me know how it goes.

Donna,
Thanks for the suggestions. I found that I did not have a TEMP file
defined in the directory that "SET TEMP=" was pointing. When that error
was corrected CorelTRACE worked fine. Thanks again.

Mike,
Glad to hear it worked out.
