WFWG Setup May Not Detect Existing 32-Bit Disk Access Drivers (106082)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q106082 SYMPTOMS
When you upgrade a Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 installation
to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Setup may not detect existing 32-Bit Disk
Access drivers. As a result, Setup may add a second set of entries for the
default 32-Bit Disk Access drivers, resulting in an error message at
startup.
CAUSE
Windows for Workgroups Setup does not check for a path statement when
looking for 32-Bit Disk Access drivers. For example, it would find
DEVICE=CPQWDCTRL.386
but would not find
DEVICE=C:\CPQ\CPQWDCTL.386
or
DEVICE=C:\CPQINT13.386
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, edit the SYSTEM.INI file and remove the
following lines from the [386Enh] section:
device=*wdctrl
device=*int13
