IMPORTANT: This article contains information about editing the registry.
Before you edit the registry, make sure you understand how to restore it
if a problem occurs. For information about how to do this, view the
"Restoring the Registry" Help topic in Regedit.exe or the "Restoring a
Registry Key" Help topic in Regedt32.exe.
SYMPTOMS
After you remove TCP/IP from a computer that has the Novell Intranetware
Client 4.11 software installed, you may receive the following error
message:
NTVDM.EXE dll initialization failed
Vwipxspx.dll failed
The process is terminating abnormally
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the registry entries for the IPX and TCP/IP
protocols bound to the network adapter are incorrect or damaged.
RESOLUTION
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that
may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry
Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys
And Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and
Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics
in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit
it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency
Repair Disk (ERD).
To resolve this issue, delete all TCP/IP keys in the registry and then
reinstall the Novell client software. To remove the TCP/IP registry keys,
see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
