- Cheers,
- Whenever I run a non-windows application I get an error
- message that looks like this:
-
- Cannot find the file WINOLDAP.GRB.
- !
- Make sure that the file is in the path defined by
- '286grabber=' value in SYSTEM.INI.
-
- I generally do not use windows, but I think it would help on
- a few applications. I have it on my computer because it came
- with Windows.
-
- I searched the entire hard drive and the only file with a
- .grb extension was a ms-dos file. My 286grabber= line reads:
-
- 286grabber=vgacolor.gr2
-
- My 386grabber line is blank, probably because I have a 286
- machine. A friend of mine, with a 386, has a similar
- 286grabber line as mine.
-
- Any help would be appreciated. E-mail responses preferred,
- but I'll take what I can get. I really wish I could fathom
- the manuals to solve this myself.
