The System Cannot Write To The Specified Devi

  • 6

Hello
I have a little problem. After executing an option (Start slapd) from my menu and finish executing every echo I have shows “The system cannot write to the specified device.” I have to close the console and open a new again to get the echo working ok again.
Have no idea how to avoid getting this message, making the echo work as they should.
Thank you!

  1. OK, I’ve tested taht and then tried something and I found what happens. I introduced some extended ASCII chars to create a menu in a windows editor and after edited it from the console. The chars changed (i. e ╠ FOR Ì OR ║ FOR º) but it displays them fine. But it seems it’s not a good aidea… I’ll try something else. But if you know a way of making these work I would be grateful.
    Thanks!

  2. Yeah those characters can be a little bit of a problem, you have to be careful because editors will save as unicode (particularly notepad) if you copy from charmap, ect. Cmd/bat scripts have to be ASCII/ANSII.

    Have a look at this thread https://computing.net/answers/pr… particularly #3.
