ERR: Color Set Resource Not Found

ID: Q98929

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, version 2.5

SYMPTOMS

While you are attempting to install FoxPro 2.5 for MS-DOS, the following error message is displayed:

   Error 1642 in module _qcemk9we Color Set Resource Not Found

This error may occur when you are selecting a video driver. The error may also appear when you type "DO INSTALL" (without the quotation marks) in the Command window and then attempt to select a video driver. When this error occurs, the installation procedure must be aborted.

RESOLUTION

Excluding the upper memory area with EMM386.EXE and disabling the math coprocessor may solve the problem.

The following AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS file examples demonstrate excluding the upper memory area and disabling the math coprocessor.

CONFIG.SYS

   device=c:\windows\himem.sys
   device=c:\windows\emm386.exe frame=d000 x=a000-efff
   files=60
   buffers=30

NOTE: x=a000-efff is the clause in the EMM386 line that excludes upper memory. You may only need to exclude the video RAM area, but since the address ranges may vary from system to system, please refer to your MS-DOS user's manual.

AUTOEXEC.BAT

   path c:\dos;c:\;c:\foxpro25
   set no87=on
   prompt $p$g
