EGA.SYS Doesn't Load for Windows 3.1 (82456)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q82456 SYMPTOMS
When you use the MS-DOS SETUP /N command to install a shared copy of
Microsoft Windows to a network drive on a machine with an EGA monitor,
Setup adds the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file
DEVICE=X:\WINPATH\EGA.SYS
where X is the net drive.
As a result, when you boot the machine, EGA.SYS doesn't get loaded because
the network has not started yet.
RESOLUTION
To correct this, copy EGA.SYS from the net drive to the local hard disk,
floppy boot disk, or remote boot area on the network and modify the
CONFIG.SYS file.
