FIXING THE RUNTIME ERROR 481 INVALID PICTURE
Friday, February 5th, 2010Runtime error 481 invalid picture error appears to indicate a possible conflict with other software that is running at the time of installation. This includes TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs, such as anti-virus, tool bars for word processors and spreadsheets, and some screen saver programs. This was not replicated in our office, however, a clean installation appears to resolve this error. To perform a clean installation: This error may occur if SAWS-A is installed when other programs are running (such as MS-Office).
To disable or turn off applications with Windows 95:
1.Press [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Del] to bring up the Close Program screen.
2. Highlight MS Office and click End Task; repeat for any other applications
which are not required by your system. Required items include Systray and Explorer. If you do not recognize an item as a regular application, do not close. NOTE: You may restart your computer and hold down the [Shift] key. This will start your computer in Safe Mode. (Follow step 3 and restart your computer).
3. Reinstall SAWS-A program: Click Start, select Run. Type A:SETUP.
