DOCUMENT:Q84882 06-NOV-1999 [win95x] TITLE :Windows Err Msg: Cannot Find File -EMBEDDI.BMP PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 95.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.1,3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you attempt to embed or link a Windows Paintbrush image from another application (such as Windows Write or Microsoft Excel for Windows), the following error message may be displayed: Cannot find file -EMBEDDI.BMP. Check to ensure the path and filename are correct. CAUSE ===== Using Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 Paintbrush to perform an OLE function within Windows 3.1 will cause the above error message to appear when an attempt is made to insert a Paintbrush Picture object within a Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 compound document. To eliminate this problem, install the Windows 3.1 version of Paintbrush. To install the Windows 3.1 version of Paintbrush: 1. Delete the Windows 3.0 versions of PBRUSH.EXE, PBRUSH.DLL, and PBRUSH.HLP files from the Windows 3.1 directory. 2. Run Windows Setup from the Main group window, and choose Add/Remove Windows Components from the Options menu. 3. Choose the Files button beside Accessories, and choose Paintbrush and Paintbrush Help. Choose the OK button and the Paintbrush files will be copied and expanded from the original disks. MORE INFORMATION ================ When Windows 3.0 is upgraded to Windows 3.1, the PBRUSH.EXE, PBRUSH.DLL, and PBRUSH.HLP files may not be updated. This may be due to the lack of disk space (which Setup detects, and does not allow all files to be installed) or due to the user choosing not to install Paintbrush and Paintbrush Help in a Custom Setup. In either situation, the Windows 3.0 Paintbrush files may remain in the Windows 3.1 directory.
