Startup and Exit Sounds May Not Work with WFWG (93038)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q93038 SYMPTOMS
If the sound files for Windows for Workgroups are on a network drive,
the Startup or Exit system sounds, which are assigned in the Sound
section of Control Panel, may not play when you start or exit Windows
for Workgroups.
CAUSE
The network redirector may not be active during the startup or exit of
Windows for Workgroups.
WORKAROUND
Startup and Exit sounds should be placed on a local drive. Any other
system sound files can be placed on a network share.
MORE INFORMATION
On an installation created by SETUP /N on a Microsoft LAN Manager or
Windows for Workgroups server, the Startup and Exit sounds do work
correctly; this is because the real mode redirector is active.
On an installation created by SETUP /N on a Novell server, the sounds
work only if they are located on the Novell server. This is because
MSIPX, not the real mode redirector, is loaded.
