If you are running the program from a Floppy Disk, make sure the write-protection is in the DOWN position, not in the write-protecting UP position.This program needs to write and rewrite things on your disk (or flash drive, or computer). If something is preventing that, the program will produce an error message!

G) My GuessWhat! was running fine from my Floppy Disk, but now it doesn't work. What can I do?

Floppy disks are easily destroyed or harmed. Here are some reasons why:

  • Your floppy disk drive got dirty, or your disk got dirty, or both.
  • Your disk was near a car engine or electrical appliance (like a TV) and got de-magnetized.
  • You took your disk out of the drive while the drive was still active (the motor was running).
  • You browsed the floppy disk and opened some files other than the GuessWhat32 file.
    Then you accidentally made some tiny changes to one or more of them.Or you deleted them.
    GuessWhat! needs all the files on the disk to run properly!
    If you get curious, and even slightly alter one of those files, you can no longer run GuessWhat!
  • Some computer (yours, a friend’s, the school’s) had a virus that got passed onto your disk.
