IMPORT.EXE/EXPORT.EXE could not run because the file IMPORT.INI/EXPORT.INI could not be written. This may be because the NTVDM.EXE (MS-DOS) process used to run the previous IMPORT/EXPORT may not have terminated normally and is in a suspended state with the IMPORT.INI/EXPORT.INI file locked. Use the Windows 2000 Task Manager to see if the NTVDM.EXE process is still running but inactive (using 0% CPU time) and use the End Process command to terminate it.
