When you run an MS-DOS-based program's Setup, you may receive the following
error message on a blue screen after you change disks:
Error reading disk in drive <x>: Please insert disk with serial number
<n> in drive <x>
Press ENTER for OK or ESC to cancel.

Windows 95 supports an "Accessed" date stamp that stores the last time a
file was opened. The error message stated above can occur when a Setup
program opens a file on a floppy disk but does not close it when you change
disks.

You may be able to work around this problem by using one of the following
methods:
| • | Insert the program's Disk 1 and press ENTER.
|
| • | If you write-protect the first disk before you run Setup, Windows 95
may not try to write the Accessed date stamp. Note, however, that some
programs require write access to Disk 1 for Setup to run correctly.
|
If you continue to have problems with the application, please contact the
application's manufacturer about a possible workaround or update.
