- 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.
