DOCUMENT:Q104179 04-NOV-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :Bitmaps (BMP) Embedded in Write May Launch 16-bit Paintbrush
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
After you install Windows NT over an existing version of Windows, if a
Bitmap (BMP) file is embedded with OLE in Write, the 16-bit version of
Paintbrush may be launched instead of the 32-bit Windows NT version.
CAUSE
=====
The Write accessory included with Windows NT is still a 16-bit Windows
application. Windows NT Paintbrush (PBRUSH.EXE) in the SYSTEM32
directory is a 32-bit application. When you open the embedded object,
the OLE functionality finds the PBRUSH.EXE in the Windows directory
from the upgrade. Because the Client, Server, and OLE Libraries are
16-bit, Windows NT searches the Windows directory and finds the 16-bit
version of Paintbrush and launches it.
RESOLUTION
==========
If OLE functionality with Paintbrush is not necessary in Windows 3.0
or 3.2, rename the 16-bit version of Paintbrush (PBRUSH.EXE) in the
Windows directory so it will not be found by Windows NT. The icon for
Paintbrush in Windows 3.0 and 3.2 can be changed to reflect the new
name.
