The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.0
  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q81668

SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Windows in enhanced mode with Artisoft LANtastic 4.x, Windows stops responding (hangs) after displaying the Windows logo.

CAUSE

When you run Windows in enhanced mode with LANtastic 4.x, the LANTASTI.386 file must be located in a directory that is included in the MS-DOS PATH= environment variable. If it is not, Windows cannot load properly.

The problem does not occur if the network software has not been started before running Windows, or if you are running Windows in another mode.

RESOLUTION

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type

path

to display the current value of PATH. PATH is usually set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. If LANTASTI.386 is not in a directory on the PATH= line, either copy it to a directory that is in the PATH= or add its directory to the PATH.
