SYMPTOMS
========
 
If Disk 1 of the PowerPoint disks is write-protected when Setup is run,
you may receive the following error message
 
   DISK WRITE FAILURE Setup needs to modify a file on: <drive>:\ If you
   have locked your disk with a write-protect tab, Please unlock it and
   then choose OK
 
where <drive> is the drive that contains the Setup disk.
 
If you choose Ignore, you may receive the following error message:
 
   SETUP MESSAGE Could not write to the file named <drive>:\SETUP.INI
   Please verify that destination drive has enough disk space.
 
RESOLUTION
==========
 
Ensure that the disk is not write-protected. On 3.5-inch disks move
the write-protect tab to cover the opening. On 5.25-inch disks remove
any tape over the notch on the right edge of the disk.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
Setup needs to write the user registration information to the disk. If
the disk is write-protected, it cannot write to the file and Setup
fails.
