Just bought a new PC w/XP Home edition. Tried installing one of my daughter's game-type programs (circa 1994) that runs fine on 98se, 2000pro, even runs fine on this new XP-Home machine w/Administrator type user ID. When I attempt to http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/23841-16-bit-windows-subsystem-issue.html run this program (Incredible Coloring Kit (ICK.EXE)) logged on with my daughter's non-Administrator ID, I'm getting the error message: C:\DOCUME~1\Nina\LOCALS~1\Temp\. A temporary file needed for initialization could not be created or cound not be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application. The above message is accompanied by CLOSE and IGNORE buttons, both of which terminate all attempts http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/100769-45-program-temp-file-initialization-error-temporary to run the program. I have verified the following directories (folders) exist: C:\Documents and Settings\Nina\Local Settings\Temp I've also been able to successfully copy and paste exsiting TMP files in the above folder as well as delete TMP files in this folder, thereby assuring me my daughter's ID has read/write/delete rights to this folder. Any ideas??? More about : bit program temp file initialization error temporary Anonymous January 1, 2005 4:27:00 PM Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.newusers (More info?)

16 Bit DOS on a windows XP machine. However, I get the following error message: "a temporary file needed for initialization could not be created or could not be written to. Make sure that the directory path exists, and disk space is available" I am running the account as a user(not administrator) on the machine. I have access rights to the particular folder that the temporary file is writing to and the disk is not full. I wonder whether there is any configuration problem I will need to set. I have tried this program on another set of PC with same user configuration but there seems to be no problem I wonder why. I have tried the DOS compatibility mode changes as well as trying to adjust the XMS and EMS to auto but it still does not work Appreciate your help!
