SYMPTOMS

If you use Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) in Windows NT 3.51 Workstation and it cannot find the preferred server, any program you launch runs after a 10-second delay.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem:
  • Run an executable file multiple times from the same Command Prompt.

    -or-
  • From the %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT file remove the line:

    lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16

    NOTE: This option prevents Netware aware programs from running.
