The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q83782 SYMPTOMS
When you are using NWPOPUP.EXE, you don't receive messages from other users
and servers while Windows is running. Instead, the messages are queued and
displayed after you quit Windows.
CAUSE
This situation can occur when:
- You use a version of NWPOPUP.EXE that predates the release of
Windows 3.1 with Microsoft Windows or Windows for Workgroups.
-or-
- You use the version of NWPOPUP.EXE supplied from Novell.
-or-
- You use the Windows 3.11 version of NWPOPUP.EXE supplied with Windows
for Workgroups 3.11 (which does not include NWPOPUP.EXE).
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, use the MS-DOS EXPAND utility that ships with your
version of Windows to expand and copy a current version of NWPOPUP.EXE from
your original Windows disks. For example:
expand a:\nwpopup.ex_ c:\windows\system\nwpopup.exe
NOTE: If there is a version 3.0 NWPOPUP.EXE in the Windows directory, it is
loaded instead of the Windows 3.1 version.
