When my daughter try to launch Orly's Draw-A-Story she
got an error message that WINSPOOL.DLL not found. I
followed the instructions at the Broaderbund site to
rename the WINSPOOL.DRV file to WINSPOOL.DLL. Then I
right click the Orly's Icon and left click Properties
from the the menu that appears. This opened the Shortcut
Properties window. When I click on the Compatibility tab,
I got the following error message, "The folder
$Install_ToDirectory specified in the start box is not
valid. Make sure that the folder exists and that the path
is corract." How do I enter the correct directory
location in the start box, so I can right click the
Compatibility tab and continue with the next step? Which
is to select Windows 95 from the drop down menu after
checking off the box to the right of "Run this program in
compatibility mode for" Thank You for any help you can
give me.
 
Is there a browse button? If there is, you could click browse and navigate
to the locations of the exe that starts the application.
