Windows 3.1 Maintenance Mode Setup Asks for Disk in Drive A (84954)

This article was previously published under Q84954

The first time you run Windows Setup to install third-party device drivers, Setup will copy the file OEMSETUP.INF to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory as OEM?.INF (where ? is the lowest number 0-9 not yet used). The next time you run Setup to install or change the third-party display drivers that are listed in the OEM?.INF file, Setup will ask for a disk with the Windows 3.1 logo file in drive A. If you are installing third-party display drivers from a drive other than drive A, Windows 3.1 Setup will still ask for the Windows 3.1 logo file in drive A, even if there is no drive A in the system.

The same thing will occur if you select a display driver already installed and choose the option to overwrite the existing driver set with new files.

If you are installing third-party display drivers from a drive other than drive A, and are prompted for the Windows 3.1 logo file in drive A, press ESC twice and type the path to the Windows 3.1 logo file.
