Error Messages
ERROR MESSAGES
ThinkTank’s menus and prompts guide you easily through
the program and minimize the chance of error. Occasionally,
however, you may misunderstand an option, press a key inadver-
tently, or tell ThinkTank to do something it can’t. When this
happens, ThinkTank generally displays an error message to help
you identity and correct the problem. This section lists all
ThinkTank error messages and suggests what to do if they oc-
cur. If you need further assistance, contact your dealer or
Living Videotext.
Bad Disk in Drive n!
Where It May Occur: SPECIAL/DISK—MANAGER/COPY
Possible Causes: ThinkTank’s disk manager (not provided
on all versions of ThinkTank) had trouble copying your disk.
The message tells you which disk was the problem. It may be
defective.
Suggested Solutions: Make sure the problem disk is
properly inserted in its drive. If it was in Drive 2, refor-
mat it or try another disk. Don’t rely on the disk you copied
to; the copy is probably inaccurate.
Can’t Create That Outline!
Where It May Occur: FILES/NEW
Possible Causes: ThinkTank can’t create the outline you
asked it to create. There are several reasons why this nay oc-
cur. Problems 1—3 may occur on systems that include floppy
disk drives, while problems 4—6 may occur on hard disk
systems.
1. Inaccessible disk. There is no data disk in the
drive, it is improperly inserted, or the door of the
drive is open. Suggested solutions: Make sure your
data disk is inserted properly in the correct drive.
