SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to run the Btrieve for Windows NT software from Windows NT, the following error message may appear:
Can't load VDM ipx/spx support.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:
  1. Check for the following entries in the Autoexec.nt file:
       lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16
       lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx
    						
  2. If the entries are present, check to see whether the following associated files actually exist:
          %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16.exe
          %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.exe
          %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.dll
    						

    If these associated files do not exist, expand them from the Windows NT CD-ROM or install Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) which will correctly copy these files to their appropriate locations.
