Cannot Find Assessment.bmp |
| The error "Cannot Find
Assessment.bmp" is received during the installation or use of Reader
Rabbit® Personalized 2nd Grade™ (ADAPT). This issue typically
indicates that a 16-bit driver or an inappropriate driver is being
used. Verifying that the correct driver is present and updating the
driver if needed should resolve the issue. |
Check the Device
Manager for the CD-ROM listing and verify if the driver needs
updated by completing the procedure below.
- Exit all programs and return to the desktop.
- Right-click the My Computer icon.
- Select Properties from the menu that appears.
- Click the Device Manager tab.
- In the window that opens, locate the CD-ROM
listing. (This listing is usually second from the top.)
NOTE: If no listing
is shown, a 32-bit driver is not installed for the CD-ROM
drive. Contact the computer manufacturer for additional assistance.
If the listing does not match the actual CD-ROM model installed in
the computer or a generic listing (ATAPI or EIDE) is shown, a more
appropriate driver may be required to properly read the cd. (Consult
the computer manufacturer to verify the manufacturer of the CD-ROM
drive used in the system and take the necessary steps to install the
proper driver for that model.) |

removed.
- Press and hold the CTRL key (Windows®) or
Control key (Macintosh®) while you tap the R key on the keyboard.

remove [the selected name] from the list?" This should remove the
original name and data file.
- Launch the game and sign-in using the name that
was removed.

gain access to the learning activities is to use a different name at
the sign-in screen. |
