Problem

Symptoms: A customer received the message "Write Protect Error Reading Drive E:" when trying to retrieve a document. This would only happen the first time he tried to retrieve a document. If the customer tried to retrieve the same document three times, everything worked correctly and the error would not display. The customer was working on a Pathworks network and had a disk service for WordPerfect and a file service for temporary files and documents. Solutions: The customer was not running a network copy of WP because she didn't want to be prompted for user initials. The customer redirected the .SET file (/PS=C:\) to a drive she could write to. After the .SET file was redirected, the error was eliminated and everything worked correctly.
